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.

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.

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.
