Furth Says Several Items Set for Circulation in Q2

摘要

LAS VEGAS - Several public safety-related items are expected to be circulated to FCC Commissioners in the second quarter of this year, David Furth, deputy chief of the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau, told the National Public Safety Telecommunications Council (NPSTC) during a quarterly meeting March 25 that was held in conjunction with the IWCE show here. An order would address a First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) request that the Commission condition licenses or other authorizations to use Band 14 "upon the requirement that no operation on Band 14 be permitted without the express consent of FirstNet after July 31, 2017," Mr. Furth said. Also, a further notice would address how the FCC exercises its statutory responsibility to address state opt-out requests, he said.
