The Commission is placing several
burdens on the wireless 911 industry and on Government entities and
phone systems. Most of these are one time rather than ongoing
requirements and are minimal to ensure the rapid implementation of
the technologies needed to bring emergency help to wireless callers
throughout the United States. In establishing these requirements,
the Commission balanced consumers' need for dependable, speedy
access to 911 services with carriers' need for flexibility in
providing emergency service. The actions were taken in response to
concerns raised by the initial Report and Order.
