The FCC has voted to tighten the standards for E911 performance by requiring carriers to report their results on a community-by-community basis, rather than averaging results across a state. The change is expected to initially show that there is wide disparity between accuracy in different communities, though the intended result is improved E911 performance across the board. Carriers aren't in favor, though public-service agencies are already coming out in favor of the proposal.
