DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Negotiators at a conference on U.N. telecommunications regulations say they've found one bit of common ground — how to call for help.
Envoys from 193 nations will decide between 911 or 112 as a standard global emergency number for new generations of mobile phones and other devices.
