Sorry, I meant GETS/WPS and MLPP. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason Michael Canon" <[email protected]> To: "King, Kimberly S." <[email protected]>; "Janet P Gunn" <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]>; <[email protected]>; <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, July 01, 2005 4:54 PM Subject: Re: [Ieprep] Re-charter? I have a generic, high level question. As a civilian in an emergency situation I call 9-1-1 to report some life threatening situation in my house. While the call is in progress a sufficient number of government officials evoke a GETS/WAS or MOP capability and my call is effectively preempted or degraded to a level that is not tolerable. My question is did a public policy debate result in a Congressional law or FCC Regulation that permits the ITEM to craft enabling technology? If so, a reference to the document would be greatly appreciated.
