I never said that I represent a large company, and in fact I openly 
admit that Digital Conceptions is a small business. As taken directly 
from the web page I originally linked to:

The whole idea is that several smaller companies with few end users work 
together each covering a fraction of the cost it would be if we all had 
our own accounts with a call centre. I certainly do not handle any 9-1-1 
calls myself as I do not have the resources to do so.
