Jenkintown, PA | NCS, if it works correctly, looks like it's a step in the right direction. In effect, create a class of service that has the right to bump non-qualified calls from any wireless network. One problem I can see, though, is how to make sure that only first responders and their leadership get them, rather than every current and ex-politician with a little pull. |

The guidelines are fairly straightforward about qualifications, but ultimately, the decision of who gets service boils down to DHS and the NCS.
Priority 1. Executive Leadership and Policy Makers
Priority 2. Disaster Response/Military Command and Control
Priority 3. Public Health, Safety and Law Enforcement Command
Priority 4. Public Services/Utilities and Public Welfare
Priority 5. Disaster Recovery |
