PSCR panel, attendees tackle controversial local-control aspect of proposed FirstNet LTE system
The fact that the spirited discussion on local control was conducted during the final late-afternoon session of a three-day conference caught the attention of panelists.
“I love that, on the last panel of the last day, we're stirring up this kind of discussion—it’s fantastic,” Thiessen said. “Clearly, this is not just a technology thing. I think we have the right people thinking about the technology aspect of this, but we also need to be talking about the governance aspect of this.
“Maybe what we do is that we work with NPSTC [National Public Safety Telecommunications Council] to try to figure out how to make this more than just a technology local-control task force and try to look at maybe a bigger picture for governance, as well.”
