The First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) is a federal agency that includes private sector
and other non-federal representation on its board of directors
Congress provided $7 billion for
costs related to planning and deploying the broadband network, and a $135 million grant program
to assist states with plans to connect to FirstNet’s broadband network.
The act only identifies two options for a state: join FirstNet or build a statewide Radio Access
Network subject to the provisions of the act.
The state would be required to pay a user fee for access to FirstNet’s core network
