Emergency text services -- coming atcha

I’ve been seeing a flurry of announcements across the mobile marketplace from companies jumping into the emergency text service category — particularly around the news of the shootings at Virginia Tech in America.

I’m pleased. I think this whole area needed a lot of attention from potential customers such as schools, colleges and large institutions. The Virginia Tech incident, although a shocking and upsetting event, is, I think, a watershed for the emergency text service market. More on this soon. Got a lot of news in from one of the market leaders, Omnilert too.
