FCC Seeks Comment on NTIA WPS Petition

The FCC’s Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau sought comment today on a petition for rulemaking filed by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration recently asking the agency to revise its wireless priority service (WPS) rules, including by permitting some WPS users to preempt non-911 calls and by expanding WPS availability to non-voice services (TR Daily, July 10). Comments are due Aug. 28 and replies Sept. 7 in WT docket 96-86.
