  • a further extension of a wireless Enhanced 911 (E911) Phase II deadline required by the Commission's Tier III Carriers Order. On September 13, 2006, Wilkes filed a request to withdraw its extension request. By this Order, we grant Wilkes' request to withdraw. In its Extension Request, Wilkes sought additional time to reach the 95% location-capable handset benchmark required by section 20.18(g)(1)(v) of the Commission's rules, citing the ENHANCE 911 Act. In its Request to Withdraw, however, Wilkes indicates that it is deploying a GSM network, and, therefore, is implementing a network-based Phase II location technology, rather than a handset-based technology. The handset penetration requirement of section 20.18(g)(1)(v) applies only to carriers employing a handset-based E911 Phase II location technology. Accordingly, the

Applying these criteria, the Commission determined in the E911 Scope Order to amend its rules to include additional service offerings within the scope of the E911 requirements, including telematics, and resold and prepaid mobile wireless services. Sections 20.18(a) and 20.19(a) currently specify that service providers within certain enumerated radio services (cellular, PCS, and SMR) are subject to the 911/E911 and hearing aid-compatibility requirements. These rule sections have not been expanded to include licensees providing service in later authorized, additional wireless services such as in the 700 MHz Band, although many of the services permitted in the 700 MHz

AAPC contends that the etymology of the backup power rule supports a finding that the Commission intended to exclude paging carriers and to apply the rule only to entities that are required to provide E-911 service as defined in Section 20.18 of the Commission's rules. AAPC notes that the Katrina Panel made its backup power recommendation ``in order to ensure a more robust E-911 service'' and that, when requesting public comment on this recommendation, the Commission explained that the Panel ``recommends that the Commission encourage the implementation of certain NRIC best practices intended to promote the reliability and resiliency of the

Sprint states that its previous record of meeting and exceeding Phase II deadlines demonstrates its commitment to providing Phase II service. It argues that an extension of the § 20.18(g)(1)(iv) deadline is justified because of the impact of the recent market downturn on the communications industry and Sprint's resulting loss of subscribers and negative subscriber growth rates. Sprint asserts that, in this economic market, location-capable phones are at a competitive disadvantage because they are more expensive than non-location-capable phones and because Sprint believes that it cannot advertise the benefits of

  • The PSAP's call could be routed to the wireless phone instead of the wireline phone. CTIA asserts that, because of these E911 issues, the industry has been unable to reach consensus to support ``mixed service'' approaches. While we recognize these concerns, in our view, the Commission's E911 rules do not prohibit the industry from adopting a ``mixed service'' approach. Section 20.18(d)(1) of the Commission's rules requires carriers to relay the telephone number of the originator of a 911 call to the designated PSAP. The Commission has recognized, however, that carriers may not, in all cases, be able to provide a call-back number or reliable call-back capability. Section 20.18(d)(2) of the Commission's rules provides that ``when the directory number of the handset

After receiving reports that AT&T Wireless had, contrary to its statements in connection with its waiver request, already begun to deploy its GSM network without location-capable handsets, the Enforcement Bureau commenced an investigation into AT&T Wireless's compliance with the E911 rules. Based on this investigation, the Commission finds that: 1. AT&T Wireless appears to have violated Section 20.18(g)(1)(i) of the Commission's Rules by failing to begin selling and activating location-capable handsets by October 1, 2001 without requesting a waiver and after telling the Commission that it did not need such a waiver.

The NAL cited AT&T Wireless for apparent violations of the E911 Phase II rules (Section 20.18 of the Commission's Rules) and for failing to notify the Commission within 30 days that information in its E911 waiver request was no longer substantially accurate and complete (Section 1.65 of the Commission's Rules).

We also seek information on other aspects of the various TTY/digital wireless systems compatibility solutions, including consumer impacts, technical issues, etc. The temporary waivers of the rule previously granted by the Commission will remain in place pending the Commission's establishment of an implementation schedule based on the information received in response to this Public Notice. I. Background and Current Status
• http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/voip911order.pdf
  • Dowd, Commanding Officer, Communications Division/NYC E-911, New York City Police Department, to Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary, FCC, WC Docket No. 04-36 (filed Apr. 22, 2005) (New York City Apr. 22, 2005 Ex Parte Letter). 18 The basic 911 rules require covered carriers to deliver all 911 calls to the appropriate PSAP or a designated answering point. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 20.18(b), 64.3001. Basic 911 requirements, however, do not address what information the PSAP should receive from that call; rather they are designed to ensure the appropriate delivery of 911 calls. See Notice, 19 FCC Rcd at 4898, para. 52; E911 First Report and Order, 11 FCC Rcd at 18679, 20862- 69, paras. 4, 29-46. The Commission therefore adopted enhanced 911 rules

  • a broader waiver. After receiving reports that AT&T Wireless had, contrary to its statements in connection with its waiver request, already begun to deploy its GSM network without location-capable handsets, the Enforcement Bureau commenced an investigation into AT&T Wireless's compliance with the E911 rules. Based on this investigation, the Commission finds that: 1. AT&T Wireless appears to have violated Section 20.18(g)(1)(i) of the Commission's Rules by failing to begin selling and activating location-capable handsets by October 1, 2001 without requesting a waiver and after telling the Commission that it did not need such a waiver. The Commission proposes a $500,000 fine for this apparent violation. 2. AT&T Wireless appears to have violated Section 20.18(g)(2) of the Commission's Rules by failing to

  • provision of Phase II service to PSAPs. After receiving reports that AT&T Wireless was not in compliance with the handset deployment requirements, the Enforcement Bureau commenced an investigation. Based on this investigation, the Commission issued a Notice of Apparent Liability (NAL) on May 20, 2002. The NAL cited AT&T Wireless for apparent violations of the E911 Phase II rules (Section 20.18 of the Commission's Rules) and for failing to notify the Commission within 30 days that information in its E911 waiver request was no longer substantially accurate and complete (Section 1.65 of the Commission's Rules). The consent decree resolves the apparent violations addressed in the NAL, as well as other issues related to AT&T Wireless's deployment of E911 technology in its
