The US Federal Communications Commission will decide next month whether the extension of 911 tracking will be extended to other calling platforms such as VoIP. FCC President Ajit Pai said on Tuesday that the address, the floor number and the suite number were to be communicated via all emergency calls.
Pai has developed draft rules that provide information on "dispatchable locations" to stakeholders "regardless of the technology platform used". This includes connected VoIP calls, multi-line telephone systems, fixed telephony services and telecommunication relay services.
At the same time, Pai insists that the FCC implement Kari's law, which would impose dialing requirements – for example, dial 1 for an outside line in an office building – removed from 911 calls made since then. multi-line telephone systems. This includes offices, hotels, hospitals and university campuses.
At its meeting in August, the FCC will also vote on Pai's proposal. extend the ban on automated calls to SMS and international calls.
