FCC Proposes Fines For E911 Failure

Source: InfoWorld / Associated Press

The FCC today proposed fining Sprint, Alltel and US Cellular a combined total of $2.8 million for failing to meet a 2005 enhanced 911 (E911) deadline. None of these carriers were able to get 95% of their subscribers on location capable handsets by 2005. Alltel and US Cellular have now met this goal, however Sprint has not yet reached the 95% mark according to the FCC. A Sprint spokeswoman today said the company has nearly met the goal with 94.7% of subscribers on location capable handsets.
