The FCC should just allocate the band and let the market
decide how to use it.
Marlon, that might normally be an appropriate tact, but this allocation is
not for private use. It is an allocation designated to public safety, as in
the safety interests of the general public. And within those interests exist
a need for cross regional and cross departmental system interoperability, so
that in a crisis groups can effectively communicate. Lack of effective comms
between groups like the fire department and the police was identified as a
major cause of the deaths of firemen and police officers in NYC (of course
after the attack itself being the cause).

I don't think this really applies to us. The 24mhz is already allocated and
off the table for our use.
However, it does seem to me that the band usage etc. should be left up to
the end user. The FCC should just allocate the band and let the market
decide how to use it.

FCC 06-34
WT Docket 96-86
The Development of Operational, Technical and Spectrum Requirements for
Meeting Federal, State and Local Public Safety Communications Requirements
Through the Year 2010
In this Eighth Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Eighth NPRM), we seek
comment on whether certain channels within the current twenty-four
megahertz of public safety spectrum in the 700 MHz public safety band
(764-776 MHz and 794-806 MHz), should be modified to accommodate broadband
communications. This action is consistent with national priorities
focusing on homeland security and broadband and our commitment to ensure
that emergency first responders have access reliable and interoperable
communications.

They have 2 groups selling into the PS space, their networking practice
and their government practice. Sometimes they even compete against
themselves. But they sure do bring lots of brand equity into the PS
wireless battle, what with all those years selling two-way radios. For
wonks, it is really fascinating following all the happenings in that
space. And it gets even more interesting with the FCC's recent 700MHz
NPRM. Moto has lots to gain if the FCC chooses to adopt a standard like
SAM to promote interoperability. Lucent wants it to go CDMA so the can
sell their EVDO. Both want some of the current wideband allocations
reconfigured to include three 1.25MHz wide channels for mobile
broadband.
The FCC is asking for comments from the public on both the Moto and
Lucent proposals, as well as their own ideas. Comment due date is, I
recall, May 16 with rebuttals by June 16.

Is the three-radio product you mention actually the four-radio product I
referred to, or something else?

This is no surprise and was largely expected back when they began to OEM
them back in January of 2005. No way they'll buy Tropos. Moto already
bought Mesh Networks and currently fields a three-radio product for the
public safety side on the muniwireless market. Earthlink is the one that
has Moto and Tropos together
