Why Comment on RCC's Filing to the FCC?

Those licensees and agencies should, in their own interest, consider indicating their support for (or disagreement with) the positions taken in the RCC Submission. The Commission is likely to give serious attention to the problems with the 800 MHz Rebanding that adversely affect public safety that are raised in the RCC Submission if and only if the public safety community indicates that:

• It believes that RCC Submission has raised important issues in relation to the 800 MHz Rebanding that should be addressed by the Commission; and/or
• It shares the concerns expressed in the RCC Submission about the manner in which the 800 MHz Rebanding has unfolded; and/or
• It has experiences in relation to the 800 MHz Rebanding which support the concerns expressed in the RCC Submission; and/or
• It supports some or all of the solutions proposed in the RCC Submission for the resolution of the problems identified in relation to the 800 MHz Rebanding.

RCC has a long and valued history working with public safety agencies. The RCC Submission was intended as a contribution to the protection of the interests of public safety licensees and agencies in relation the complex and critical 800 MHz Rebanding. RCC believes that that the RCC Submission was necessary to open a frank discussion of the problems with the 800 MHz Rebanding. RCC does not believe that the RCC Submission is alone sufficient to assure that the problems identified are addressed effectively in the interest of the public safety community .
