Courtesy TRDaily: FirstNet Board to Meet August 15

The First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) Board plans to hold a special meeting via teleconference Aug. 15 from 11 a.m.-noon eastern time.  A notice did not mention an agenda for the meeting, but the board may vote on a spectrum lease with the state of Texas on behalf of Harris County. Texas and FirstNet officials have said they are close to completing their lease negotiations, and Special Temporary Authority from the FCC to operate the Harris County network expires later this month.  No agenda is posted yet.  Visit www.firstnet.gov/ for more information.
