White Paper: Critical
Infrastructure Network
A new White Paper by Elliott
Drucker explores the unique window of opportunity currently open which could be
exploited to address three critical national interest needs for broadband
wireless communications (public safety, “Smart Grid,” and rural broadband) with
a single nationwide 700 MHz network.
Even better, the spectrum is already allocated, and federal stimulus
funding could pay for most if not all network deployment costs. Download the White paper.
