TRDaily reports the National Public Safety Telecommunications Council expressed concern today that the FCC could inadvertently ban public safety airborne communications if it adopts rules it proposed in a proceeding in which it sought comment on whether to permit airlines to allow passengers to use voice communications above 10,000 feet (TRDaily, Dec. 12, 2013). In a filing in WT docket 13-301, NPSTC urged the Commission to ensure that any changes to its section 90.423 rules apply only to commercial specialized mobile radio (SMR) operations and not public safety operations.
