FCC Interested in Emergency Wireless Network

Brian Robinson writes on FCW.com:

The Federal Communications Commission will study the feasibility of constructing a nationwide interoperable wireless network for emergency workers using some of the spectrum that TV companies will abandon as they transition to digital television.

Providing mobile broadband communications, in addition to upgraded communications equipment and training, could offer emergency responders many important capabilities, the FCC said in a recent report to Congress.

The report was required under the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004.
