3:32Now PlayingWatch as U.S. Senator Roger Wicker, R-Miss., chairs a Senate Subcommittee hearing to examine the progress of the nation's public safety broadband network.
At the urging of the public safety community, the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 created FirstNet, an organization designed to serve as an “independent authority” in the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and to “provide emergency responders with the first nationwide, high-speed network dedicated to public safety." As highlighted by the tragedy of 9/11, the reliance by first responders on separate networks has made communications among public safety professionals problematic during emergencies.
