There’s still no real indication of when you can send text messages, photos and videos to 911 , however the FCC has now set a date for an additional promised enhancement to the service. The agency is aiming to extend the service’s location accuracy requirements, and for this reason it wants all cellphones and VoIP devices to be GPS-capable by 2018 ( A-GPS , specifically). Because the FCC notes, it expects 85 percent of all cellphones to have built-in GPS by that time anyway, which it says should “contribute to minimizing subsequent costs” required to fulfill the cut-off — it is not, however, adopting a particular sunset date just yet. As you may expect, however, there isn’t exactly unanimous support for the move within the industry, and the FCC itself notes in its recently-published document that AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Motorola and the CTIA all insist that “a unitary standard isn’t technically or economically feasible at the present.”
