Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Nine years after 9/11, police and fire departments are at odds with the FCC over how to get in the 4G game: build a public safety broadband network or piggyback on commercial carriers to keep in touch in an emergency. We explore the quest for nationwide first-responder “interoperability.”
Guests
- Jamie Barnett Chief of the Federal Communication Commission's Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau
