Certainly that's a given ........ but ...... you know damn well, that
the cost is going to be something like $.25 a month and that there will
be the bottom feeders who just aren't going to let their client know
*where* the monitoring is coming from. It's always been a problem in my
area that there are companies who use centrals in East Jesus, Arkansas.
They get monitoring for a $1.50 a month. The operators don't have a
clue about local geography, events, or culture and I can just imagine
if there were a problem. I'm sure the central would really react with
great dispatch on curing any difficulties or conflicts .......... since
they're 2000 miles away and what are ya gonna do about it (?) Fly down
here tomorrow afternoon and take care of it?   Yeh ...... sure!
