2. First Year Report Guiding Policy Principles Advisory Committee
9-1-1 Funding must be predictable, stable, and dedicated only for that purpose
Assessed in a competitively neutral manner on all technologies utilized to place a emergency request for assistance to a PSAP
Should potentially include a traditional fee on an access line or communications device in a subscription, an amount in pre-paid wireless plan, or going forward, could be assessed on user broadband connections to an internet access network provider
Advisory Committee
A Local State Government Advisory Committee should be convened to focus on NG9-1-1 issues.

3. Task
Develop a funding sustainment model that can be used by state and authorities to calculate their financial needs to support a transitional NG9-1-1 implementation.
Enable authorities and state and local decision makers to identify current contribution sources; and
Factor in other potential sources, like the network connection fees described in initial report.
To extent possible, should also include a breakdown of common costs for PSAPs.

7. Network Connection Fee
Four Categories of such a Fee
Single Flat-Rate fee on any underlying network facility that would support any means to access 911 (e.g., voice, text, video, etc.)
A separate fee for each mode of access supported. For example, an underlying facility that supports both voice and video access to would be assessed two fees.
Capacity-Based fee for each voice equivalent channel that could be supported on the underlying network facility
Revenue-Based Charge on the total revenue derived by the underlying network provider
