Wireless Providers Face Fines Regarding E911 Compliance

The AP's Dan Caterinicchia reports that the FCC has "denied all requests from cellphone companies who sought extensions to a federal mandate requiring enhanced 911 systems that allow emergency call centers to locate wireless callers."


"The wireless carriers were required to have 95 percent of their subscribers equipped with location-capable handsets by Dec. 31, 2005," Caterinicchia writes. "None did."


In particular, Caterinicchia says, "U.S. Cellular Corp., Nextel Partners, alltel and Sprint Nextel, which had lower penetration rates than the other companies and lacked suitable plans for future compliance, were referred for enforcement action by the FCC and could be subject to fines."
