FW: Congressional response regarding DTV   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #539 of 565 |

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 Arizona. While the transition delay does not have any apparent major impact in Arizona at this time, it is very important for our fellow public safety agencies nationwide to begin constructing on and using this new spectrum as quickly as possible.

 

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.
