Re: Obligations of wireless service providers with respect to customer notification of 9-1-1 service availability, characteristics and limitations
As documented in the Commission letter with subject: Obligations of wireless service providers with respect to customer notification of 9-1-1 service availability, characteristics and limitations, dated 28 July 2015, wireless service providers (WSPs) were required to file with the Commission certain details of customer notifications regarding the availability, characteristics and limitations of the wireless emergency service they offer no later than 4 September 2015.
Commission staff has reviewed the responses and notes that, as TerreStar is not yet providing wireless services, the obligations listed in our letter do not yet apply.
This conclusion is based on the information provided, and the company is reminded that it is its responsibility to ensure that it is compliant with these obligations at all times should it choose to provide wireless service in the future.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and please note that a copy of this letter and all subsequent correspondence will be placed on the public record of the above-noted file. If you have any questions with regards to this letter, please contact me at (819) 635-7485 or joel.mcgrath@crtc.gc.ca
Yours sincerely,
