APCO Cheered by FCC Posture, Hill Movement on D-Block Network

摘要

The FCC is showing willingness to consider reallocation of the 700 MHz D-block in place of the ncommission's plan for a national wireless broadband network for emergency agencies, said nAPCO President Richard Mirgon. Public safety's attention has shifted from the FCC to Capitol nHill, where legislation that would give public safety the D-block seems to be gaining support, nhe said. Mirgon noted that bills by Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., in the House and Sens. Joseph nLieberman, I-Conn., and John McCain, R-Ariz., would reallocate the band.
