Pitching Broadband For First Responders

Discovery News explores the revamping of the nation's first responder communications system, and two national broadband networks being proposed by Verizon Wireless, and a company named Cyren Call. Cyren Call, which announced its proposal last April, is trying to persuade Congress and the FCC not to auction the slices of spectrum, but to put them into a public trust. They propose that the trust then hire a company like Cyren Call to manage it. They envision a network could be up and running by 2009.
