News from National NENA
Just wanted to make sure that you are aware that the
FCC recently released two orders addressing the
TracFone (E9-1-1) and Virgin Mobile ETC petitions.
First, the Commission modified the condition on
TracFone's ETC designations related to E9-1-1
certifications. Per today’s order, TracFone “must
still request such certification from each PSAP
within its service area; however, if, within 90 days
of TracFone’s request, a PSAP has not provided the
certification and the PSAP has not made an
affirmative finding that TracFone does not provide
its customers with access to 911 and E911 service
within the PSAP’s service area, TracFone may
self-certify that it meets the basic and E911
requirements.”
The Commission also granted Virgin Mobile's
petition for forbearance from the
facilities-ownership requirement in the ETC
designation statute, and also granted Virgin
Mobile's petition for ETC designation in New York,
Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee -- subject
to the same conditions applicable to TracFone
(including E9-1-1). In Pennsylvania, however,
due to the “Pennsylvania
Public Utility Commission’s assertion of
jurisdiction over wireless ETC designations,” the
Commission dismissed “without prejudice Virgin
Mobile’s petition for designation as an ETC in
Pennsylvania.”
Please let me know if you have any questions
about either of the Orders.
