Thanks for the link to my www.cameraphonereport.com article. But the NYC system is "real" in the sense that the city is apparently ** going ** to do this but hasn't yet implemented it. As of when I wrote the article, the city hadn't signed any contract.

One of the more interesting aspects is the city is working on integrating camera phones with its 311 number that enables residents to call about non-emergency city services.

For example, if you see a pothole, graffiti, etc. and want to report it, you could be able to send, presumably, a photo or perhaps a video. The 311 aspect is supposed to be implemented after the 911 camera phone integration.
