Why does public safety need the D block spectrum?
Public Safety has identified a host of applications for broadband; failure to reallocate the D block will limit public safety’s ability to get full use of those applications and to ensure effective interoperability across all levels of government. Failure to reallocate the D block also continues the same past history of providing public safety too little spectrum, which results in the need for future allocations that ultimately have to be sourced from another spectrum band, further hampering interoperability.
