Public Safety Broadband Network and Commercial Roaming Agreements
The American Jobs Act proposes a nationwide public safety interoperable broadband network for entities like FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security. The plan involves negotiating roaming agreements with commercial providers like AT&T and Verizon, allowing government traffic to take priority over consumer data during emergencies. This prioritization could potentially degrade or terminate existing civilian voice and data sessions.
