To: the keyboard of geoff goodfellow <geoff () iconia com> CC: Dave Farber <dave () farber net> Geoff, thanks and I already received a note that I am signed up, been a long time and I will be active. OK-so every Thursday I publish a blog called the Public Safety Advocate at it resides at allthingsfirstnet.com. It is also posted on Linked in and Twitter. I have been doing this weekly since 2010 My next PSA this Thursday deals with the rural coverage issues specifically as opposed to the highway issues. However, when FirstNet, the Authority bid the FirstNet network they describe rural coverage in 3 segments, two of which have to be covered. First are the rural communities, next up is the interstates that run through rural areas and the third to be covered on an as needed basis is what is called wilderness And to answer your question yes what ever AT&T covers the others are almost forced to cover. At this point—my unofficial rating of the networks and their coverage based on nationwide coverage is Verzion about 10% better than AT&T T-Mobile a close third Sprint a distance 4th. FirstNet (AT&T) is also required to work with rural telcos for more coverage Andy *From:* geoffg () gmail com [mailto:geoffg () gmail com] *On Behalf Of *the keyboard of geoff goodfellow *Sent:* Monday, January 29, 2018 2:50 PM *To:* Andrew Seybold <aseybold () andrewseybold com> *Cc:* Dave Farber <dave () farber net> *Subject:* Re: vis-a-vis a Government-Backed 5G vs. private enterprise network -- which is better equipped to build out truly national coverage? Andy, what means is your next *PS advocate ?* wondering if the the FirstNet buildout will NOW FORCE the other "private enterprise network" carriers to also solve the Truckers (lack of) True Nationwide Coverage (Dilemma)? hope you will re-join Dave Farber's IP list and then chime in (n.b. am CC'ng Dave on this reply in case he has to "approve" your subscription, this will give him a heads up)! vis-a-vis (re)joining farber's ip list - it can be read on the web at: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now and for back months and years at: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/ to get back on IP, enter your desired email address at: https://www.listbox.com/subscribe/?list_id=247 ALSO, highly recommended reading is the Risks Digest (which yours truly also contributes to) at www.risks.org or get on it emailed to you, go to: http://www.csl.sri.com/users/risko/risksinfo.html lastly, there is Dewayne's list on the web at: https://dewaynenet.wordpress.com http://dewaynenet.wordpress.com/feed/ or get on it directly by emailing him at dewayne () warpspeed com On Mon, Jan 29, 2018 at 11:01 AM, Andrew Seybold <aseybold () andrewseybold com> wrote: WOW Geoff, I used to be on his list, did not even know it was still around, loved it when I was on it. As for this post—two things I can say is that there is a lot of work going on for better highway coverage and into small towns as well, my next PS advocate deals with this issue a lot. FirstNet (the network being built by AT&T for public safety) is required to cover much more of the Interstate system than is covered today. More if you want it.

Dave, am Very Curious to know what the Interesting People list collective think or would be IS The Best AND Most Assured/Effective way to effectuate a (long overdue!) solution to what cross country truck driver Curtis Lund comments on (in the ref'd *Variety* article below) regarding The Issue Of Solving The Nationwide Coverage GAPs Issue as exhibited by our extant ("negligent") private enterprise providers we all have been and currently tolerate/living with? viz. excerpting from: http://variety.com/2018/politics/news/fcc-ajit-pai-trump-5g-nationalization-1202680028/ : JANUARY 29, 2018 AT 9:12 AM <http://variety.com/2018/politics/news/fcc-ajit-pai-trump-5g-nationalization-1202680028/#comment-5751083> *Curtis Lund* *says:* *As a cross country truck driver I can tell you that there is minimal or zero cellular service along many stretches of our highway system, and many small towns as well that have none.* *So if we are going to compete with China, Japan, and many other countries that have better national coverage for their citizenship than we do*, we have to make 5G nationwide coverage a big part of any infrastructure overhaul plan moving toward. *Right now the major carriers don’t bid on FCC licenses for spectrum in rural areas do to the minimum ROI for their shareholders.* But a 5G nationwide system would benefit all Americans the same way as our nationwide power grid and landline system has done. And one last thing, we Americans pay twice as much in our cellular bills and get half as much compared to what other citizens in many countries do. *They have faster cheaper, and fuller coverage than we do.* Dammit let’s quit talking about it, and just do it! -- Geoff.Goodfellow () iconia com living as The Truth is True http://geoff.livejournal.com -- Geoff.Goodfellow () iconia com living as The Truth is True http://geoff.livejournal.com ------------------------------------------- Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/18849915-ae8fa580 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=18849915&id_secret=18849915-aa268125 Unsubscribe Now: https://www.listbox.com/unsubscribe/?member_id=18849915&id_secret=18849915-32545cb4&post_id=20180129193441:59FB0B06-0555-11E8-BCE5-FA9595501FBC Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
