Please be advised of the support (in the
attached letter) we have great from our own Senator McCain on the importance of
protecting the 700 MHz spectrum for our much needed public safety systems in
Both the NRPC (http://www.nrpc.us) and NPSTC (http://www.npstc.org) are working hard to
communicate to our new President the importance of not significantly delaying
or delaying at all the transition.
If the opportunity exists from any of us
that communicate with Senator McCain’s office, please express our
gratitude for his quick response and continued support for public safety and
the frequency/spectrum issues we have.
If you did not get a copy of the letter in
your email (due to the type of notifications you get from Yahoo Groups) it will
also be posted up, shortly, in our files section under a “DTV Transition”
folder.

Subject: Congressional response
regarding DTV
As you may know, the
president elect has suggested that the FCC delay the transition date for DTV
implementation. We objected to the delay in
the spectrum that will be used by public safety. Attached are two
letters received: one is in response to our letter from Congressman Cliff
Stearns, the Ranking Republican on the House Subcommittee on Communications,
Technology and the Internet, and the other is from Senator McCain in support of
protecting the 700MHZ public safety spectrum from any delay in being released.
