The FCC announced the tentative agenda for first Open Meeting of 2015, scheduled for January 29, 2015. The items to be considered are as follows:

Location Accuracy for Emergency Calls: The FCC will consider a Report and Order to ensure that accurate caller location information is automatically provided to public safety officials for all wireless calls to 911, including for indoor calls, to meet consumer and public safety needs and expectations, and to take advantage of new technological developments.

Presentation on New Consumer Help Center: The FCC will hear a presentation on the new Consumer Help Center See the Regulatory Mix dated 1/6/15 that provides an easier-to-use, more consumer-friendly portal for filing and monitoring informal consumer complaints, as well as accessing educational materials.
