The filing comes after T-Mobile (CD Sept 6 p10) and AT&T (CD Sept 11 p19) met with the Public Safety Bureau to discuss an ex parte filing by CalNENA made Aug. 12 that showed a significant drop in wireless Phase II location data reporting by five major wireless carriers to the PSAPs (CD Aug 14 p4). CalNENA measured the extent to which PSAPs have retrieved the location data that carriers have made available to them during the course of a 911 call, not whether the carriers have delivered Phase II data in accordance with FCC rules, said Verizon.
