CORRECTION to Andy Seybold’s Public Safety Advocate, August 24, 2017

I hate TYPOS! There is a typo in this week’s PS Advocate mailing that changes the meaning in an alarming way: The offending line is: “The FirstNet law requiresany public safety agency within an opt-in state to switch to AT&T.

There is a typo in this week’s PS Advocate mailing that changes the meaning in an alarming way: The offending line is: “The FirstNet law require any public safety agency within an opt-in state to switch to AT&T. In fact, the law says that no agency has to sign up for any FirstNet services—ever and it should of course read, as if does in the full blog post: “The FirstNet law does NOT REQUIRE any public safety agency within an opt-in state to switch to AT&T. In fact, the law says that no agency has to sign up for any FirstNet services—ever.” I aplologize for the error and thank the many readers who caught this for me and I apologize to any reader I caused an anguish to!!
