![]() Excellent point, in my research I saw this handoff or spectrum management authority of the DoD and it makes sense. This is a serious, additional consideration and is all the more reason to get the DHS' blessings. Thanks. On Mon, 03 Oct 2005 17:55:13 -0500, David G. Nagel wrote: Actually the DOD does not have any authority over radio spectrum. There are two federal agencies that do. One is the FCC, which we all know and love, the other is NTIA, the National Telecomunications Information Agency. NITA controls all federal radio frequencies. Since the DOD is a Federal Agency their frequencies are controled by NTIA the same as the FBI, CIA Secret Service, Dept of Homeland Security and any other federal alphabet soup agency. Dave N a FCC and a NTIA user Know of the NTIA but I believe that what is the reality is that the mil gets first dibs on frequencies, then hands off the rest and in a state of national emerg, they can pretty much takeover the airwaves. -- Drop the alphabet for email |
