AND PETITION FOR FURTHER RULEMAKING Wireless Consumers Alliance, Inc. ("WCA") submits these comments with respect to the Commission's Notice ofProposed Rulemakint in the above caption matters and petitions the Commission to include one other core issue in its deliberations. These comments are directed toward the NPRMin Docket No. 92-105.2 1 In the Matter ofImplementation of911 Act (WTDocket No. 00-110) and The Use of NIl Codes and Other AbbreviatedDialing Arrangements (CC Docket No. 92-105), Fourth Report and Order and Third Notice ofProposed Rulemaking (CC Docket No. 92-105) ("NPRM") and Notice ofProposed Rulemaking (WT Docket No. 00-110). 2 Parties were directed to "identify comments for each Docket Number." (§ Y.E.). We support the Commission's recommendations in Docket No. 00-110 however, we think that the objective ofcreating a "seamless, ubiquitous, reliable wireless telecommunications networks"will not be accomplished with negotiations with private carriers who have no incentive to cooperate. There are several current examples ofwireless carrier non-cooperation in Docket 94-102, e.g. the King County Letter and the Texas 911 Group. The reality is the nation's wireless network is neither seamless, ubiquitous or reliable and will not become so by continuing to depend on the voluntary actions ofwireless carriers or market forces.
