The House communications and technology subcommittee plans to hold a hearing June 16 on the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet). The hearing is scheduled to start at 2 p.m. in room 2123 of the Rayburn House Office Building. “FirstNet has had a rough start, including numerous management changes and questions surrounding board members’ ethics,” said Rep. Greg Walden (R., Ore.), the subcommittee’s chairman. “While it seems that FirstNet has made progress toward getting back on track, we will continue our oversight as FirstNet works to ensure that first responders have a nationwide interoperable broadband network that meets their needs. American lives depend on its success.”
