The Commission is requesting approval to require mobile wireless providers to report to the Commission for public disclosure, once each day during major disasters, the percentages of their cell sites that are operational in each affected county (see FCC 13-125). The Commission would then disclose this information on its website. Such disclosures will give consumers a "yardstick" for comparing the performance of various providers during emergencies, which may influence their choice of provider. Also, by holding providers accountable for their performance, such disclosures could spur improvements to mobile wireless networks to enhance their resiliency. Improving the resiliency of these networks would contribute greatly to the safety of the public, as Americans increasingly rely on mobile wireless networks to communicate during emergencies and to access 9-1-1 for emergency assistance.
