APCO International Commends FCC for Extending Outage Reporting to Interconnected VoIP Providers

APCO International February 15, 2012 APCO, Government

Washington, DC – February 15, 2012 – The Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) International today issued the following statement in response to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Open Meeting, which addressed the issue of “Extending Outage Reporting Obligations to Interconnected VoIP Services”:

From APCO International President Gregg Riddle:

“We applaud the FCC for extending outage reporting to interconnected VoIP providers, as those services increasingly carry a significant number of 9-1-1 calls. We also hope that, in the future, the Commission will require similar reporting for broadband providers and take steps to ensure that Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) receive real-time reports of outages that could impact the receipt of 9-1-1 calls.”
