"Master Street Address Guide" is wrong

The article says:

"One obstacle lies in the maintenance of the database, known as the Master Street Address Guide, which stores a 911 dialer's location information."

The database that stores the 911 dialers location information is *NOT* the Master Street Address Guide (MSAG). The databse that stores the 911 dialers location is the Automatic Location Identification (ALI) database.

nothing has changed much since 2006. Consumers still dont know that if they change addresses without notifying their call will go to the wrong location.
