Public Comment the Post-Disaster Communications Petition
On Monday the FCC put out for public comment the Post-Disaster Communications Petition that Tom Evslin and Jeff Pulver filed in March. Initially the petition got quite a bit of buzz. Now that it is out for comment, it's time for the public to comment on this petition.
Comments are due by: April 27, 2006 so the window is short for both spreading the word and for submitting comments.
The FCC has made the electronic comment filing procedure VERY simple. Go to http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/ecfs/upload_v2.cgi, enter RM-11327 in the first line where it requests the "Proceeding" (this is the Petitions "RM" number), fill in the other minimal contact info requirements, and submit a brief statement in support.
Given the high visibiltiy VoIP solutions played in the Katrina response, this should be an area of interest for all VoIP servcie providers, equipment manufacturers and practitioners.
This is a public safety issue and something the FCC should be proactively addressing. Please help spread the word of this petition, and take a moment and submit your own comments.
