Once in a while a significant new enterprise can emerge when need, availability and required resources align. Right now there appears to be just such a situation in the wireless arena – a Critical Infrastructure Networkwindow of opportunity that could be exploited to create a major advance in our national interests.
What I am proposing is the design and deployment of a Critical Infrastructure Network (CIN), which will meet the collective wireless broadband needs of the public safety community, the electric power smart grid and remote rural areas that currently have minimal, if any, access to broadband Internet service. Each of these three user constituencies is facing an urgent need for enhanced broadband, and each is in line to receive some sort of federal help in meeting those needs. When one considers what is required and the costs, the concept of a single network, the CIN, serving all three seems irresistible.
via CIN: 3 in 1.
