Sprint Nextel Praises FCC’s Plan for D Block (3/1/10)
Sprint Nextel released a statement in response to FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski’s Feb. 25 remarks on commercial licensing of the 700 MHz D block spectrum. The statement said the plan for nationwide public-safety broadband communications promises to break the deadlock over establishing interoperable public-safety communications. “The chairman’s statement rightly emphasizes the need for public safety to have consistent and prompt access to robust, secure interoperable networks of the highest quality,” Sprint Nextel officials said. “Public-safety users must also have state-of-the-art devices and applications.”
The Sprint Nextel statement said the company strongly supports the chairman’s approach of relying on competitive forces to ensure the deployment of public-safety broadband communications. “By permitting public safety to partner with commercial operators, the chairman’s competition-minded plan not only promises to tackle the national priority of ensuring broadband communications for public safety, but also to create well-paying, high-tech jobs.”
