Implementing a Broadband Interoperable Public Safety Network in the 700 MHz Band

Jerry Brito | Jun 23, 2008
Last year, the FCC attempted to create a national public safety broadband network. It assigned to a nonprofit licensee 12 MHz of public safety spectrum in the 700 MHz band, and held an auction for another 12 MHz of spectrum. The winning bidder of that commercial license was then expected to form a public-private partnership with the public safety nonprofit to deploy a national network that could be shared by both first responders and commercial users. Unfortunately, there was no successful bidder in the auction. Jerry Brito provides comments on how the FCC can revamp its plan to achieve a national network.
