NTIA Calls on FCC to Snuff Out Early 700 MHz Band Networks

摘要

The NTIA told the FCC that new spectrum legislation requires the communications to end the licenses of state and local government bodies to build out early networks in the 700 MHz band and to throw out the more than three dozen requests to join them. “Congress, well aware of the barriers to interoperability that resulted from the ‘network of networks’concept embodied in legacy land mobile radio systems, chose to invest $7 billion and create FirstNet to design, build, and operate ‘a nationwide, interoperable public safety broadband network’ that is ‘based on a single, national network architecture,’” The NTIA said (http://xrl.us/bm8r6n).
