   I can' t help but wonder if some teenagers would need lessons to use them. 

And the article is full of wrong. While cellphones are required to allow 911,
a dead landline is d e a d dead, with no dial tone, etc.

At one point ~20 years ago, Ma experimented with a scheme where the disconnected
phone was allowed 911 & the business office, period. It didn't last long.
