FirstNet officials hint at business-plan components
While dynamic specrum arbitrage might be a strategy used by FirstNet to deploy it’s nationwide first-responder broadband within budget, “it won’t play a big role in what we do,” said General Manager Bill D’Agostino. However, he added that FirstNet is eager to identify partnership deals that would allow it to leverage its expected excess spectrum capacity–largely with carriers that need additional capacity, and with entities that can bring assets to the table, such as utilities.
