I spent most of last week at the APCO (Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials) conference and exposition in Kansas City. The event was well attended as you might guess, and you might also guess that one of the main topics of the sessions and show floor talk was interoperability between federal, state and local first responder agencies and agencies that support the first responder community.
The consensus, I believe, is that the 700-MHz public/private nationwide network will take a very long time to become a reality if it ever does. If and when it does, while it will be great to have an interoperable broadband data system, it won't address the real issue, which is voice interoperability...
