STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER ROBERT M. McDOWELL Re: Implementation of the NET 911 Improvement Act of 2008, WC Docket No. 08-171 I am pleased to join my colleagues in implementing key provisions of the New and Emerging Technologies 911 Improvement Act of 2008 (NET 911 Act). This Order faithfully reflects the plain language and intent of the NET 911 Act, and will further the abilities of our nation’s emergency response providers for the benefit of all Americans. I would like to thank the Senate Commerce and House Energy and Commerce Committees for their guidance and hard work on this issue. I also would like to commend my colleagues and the staff for their diligence and cooperation in ensuring that we successfully met the tight deadlines established by the NET 911 Act.
