EXECUTIVE SUMMARYThe National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) commendsthe Federal Communications Commission for conscientiously addressing our first responders‟communications needs, and continuing to make these needs a priority. Proceeding from theshared vision of an efficient and effective nationwide interoperable public safety wirelessbroadband network and recognizing this rare opportunity to help realize that vision in the nearfuture, the Administration, in these Comments, highlights important issues in the development ofan overarching framework to achieve this common vision and suggests an appropriate course ofaction.The Administration supports legislation to create a not-for profit Public SafetyBroadband Corporation (“Corporation”) that would effectively oversee a nationwide networkoperation tailored to meet the needs of the local, State, Tribal, and Federal public safetycommunities. The Corporation would consult and coordinate with relevant public safetyofficials at State, local, or Tribal jurisdictions, as well as Federal entities where appropriate, onmatters within their purview. This corporate structure would be the most efficient and costeffectiveway to ensure the deployment of a truly nationwide, interoperable public safetynetwork.These Comments address the technical issues presented in this rulemaking through theprism of such a nationwide public safety corporate structure. Specifically,− Intra-public safety network roaming ceases to be a concern in a nationwidenetwork, but remains a significant problem and cause of inefficiencies in a seriesof regional networks. The Corporation should require only a single Public LandMobile Network (PLMN) identifier for the purpose of facilitating roaming amongpublic safety users of a single nationwide public safety broadband network andcommercial networks;iii
