What we want to see happen in 2011
- Congress reallocates the D Block to public safety.
- Everybody play nice in the San Francisco Bay Area and get the nation's first 700 MHz LTE network back on track.
- Congress provides the $16 billion that will be needed over the next decade to build and operate the nationwide broadband network for first responders.
- Congress provides the $1.25 billion in funding to the 911 sector it promised seven years ago, which is sorely needed.
- The 911 sector finally is recognized as the hub of the first-response wheel.
- That a rebanding agreement finally is struck with Mexico.
- That FM Approvals rethink its position regarding its intrinsically safe standard, so that users don't have to re-engineer their radio systems.
