Re: ITs not hard
So, what are you using these frequencies for during the 99.9% of the time when there is no need for an emergency network? There are no towers up.
The whole point of this network is to have it up and running all the time, to be taken over for critical communications when other networks are unavailable. It would take weeks to deploy, erect and activate a system such as you describe, far too late to do any good.

The real point of this idea, is to provide a way for communications companies to be able to erect 37,000 towers around the United States; and because they are for the 'emergency network, nimby localities will not be able to complain about the presence of these towers. The 99.999% of the time, the communications companies will use this system for commercial profit, without the financial disadvantage of lawsuits, hearings, environmental studies, or zoning problems.
The goal, as are most of the goals of this administration, are to make $$$$, while subdueing the public with tales of their acts being for 'the greater good'. |
