Hello all,
As per the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), "effective April 15, 2025, originating service providers (OSPs) and covered 911 service providers are required to provide a 911 outage notification to a potentially affected 911 special facility, including PSAPs, as soon as possible, but no later than within 30 minutes of discovering that they have experienced on any facilities that they own, operate, lease, or otherwise utilize, an outage that potentially affects a 911 special facility." Original FCC announcement / updated rules.

- Does the new outage notification requirement apply to VoIP providers that do not provide direct service to PSAPs?
- If so, how is everyone handling this?
