O’Brien’s Road Show

Nextel co-founder Morgan O’Brien is taking his latest proposal on a road show, appearing in person to lobby local public safety officials, and also on talk radio stations to explain his Cyren Call proposal that advocates 30 MHz more spectrum for public safety agencies. In an interview with a Detroit (Mich.) radio station, O’Brien told the host, “And the part of this proposal that I like best is that while coming up with that spectrum, that airwaves, solves one half of the problem, another half of the problem, which is even more severe, is where do you get the billions of dollars necessary to build what public safety needs? And our proposal is to have the private sector build the facilities to the specifications of public safety, and thereby solve both problems at once. And that is our proposal.” Read the transcript here.
