Chris is totally right in saying that 44net is NOT intended for life supporting situation as ham radio cannot also be the sole method to support a life threatening situation.
Yes 44net CAN be use for emcom, but it should not be considered as the only mean of communication support for it.
It is the exact same limitation that any ISP will give you if you use a residential internet connection to support a 911 call center.
The device used in a 911 call center may look as the one you have at home. But it is not and there is redundancy and such other technical mean to make sure no life threatening situation is affected by the ISP drop and the cost is a lot different.
So don't expect ARDC to support life support use of the 44net ip space as it is NOT the level of use it is designed to uphold

I see. So just to clarify, you are saying that it is ARDC's official
position that emcomm is not an appropriate use of the 44net address
space?
