WASHINGTON-The Federal Communications Commission has granted a stay of rules for non-initialized and 911-only mobile phones. The rules were set to go into effect on Oct. 1.
The Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions sought the stay as a follow-up to a petition it filed seeking reconsideration of FCC guidelines for mobile phones without call-back numbers. ATIS said the commission’s solution would not provide public safety dispatch centers with a unique number when emergency calls are dialed from non-initialized and 911-only phones. ATIS said it will propose an alternative fix in a report next March.
