The passage of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act in February, 2012, and creation of the new governing authority, FirstNet, paves the way for development of a nationwide public safety broadband network (NPSBN). The state of Iowa is working diligently to research and plan for this needed infrastructure. The demonstration tomorrow, is one more step toward maintaining public safety and delivering services to citizens using 21st century technology.
