<Do you think that outcome would really happen, especially when the fortunes of U.S. companies are at stake? What do you think the public reaction would be, especially from service providers like Sprint and Verizon, who are eager for the opportunity to introduce value added features that will allow them to take market share or obtain more revenues from subscribers?> I think the carriers will, not the handset manufactures, lobby the FCC for an extension to the 10/1 deadline and a less costly base station E911 solution. The carriers are the ones that will bear the cost through subsidies. If you were a carrier and could get away with a less costly base station vs a more costly handset E911 solution, wouldn't it be worth the fight? BWDIK.
