The National Public Safety Telecommunications Council asked the FCC to create a public-private emergency communications network along the lines of one proposed by Frontline Wireless. In a letter to the FCC, the NPSTC conceded that a public-private partnership raised "novel regulatory issues," but said it was the only "realistic" alternative for delivering a "viable, affordable, self-sustaining" public safety network. The FCC is currently preparing rules for the auctioning of spectrum reclaimed in the switch to all-digital broadcasting.
