In response to a committee question, Mr. Branson stated that there are issues with wireless calls, especially between cities and counties. Ms. Notarianni added that the PUC is looking at numerous options to implement next generation 911 and minimize the cost of that implementation. In response to a committee question, Mr. Branson stated that it may take as little as 18 months to deploy generation 911 in Colorado, but it could take longer. Mr. Branson and Ms. Notarianni stated that they believe that recent net neutrality changes will most likely have no impact on 911 service.
