NTIA hosted the first of two workshops last week to get input from states and territories about the start of FirstNet’s network. Representatives from Eastern states met with FirstNet officials at an Atlanta workshop about state consultation and planning for the network, said an NTIA news release Friday (http://1.usa.gov/1n2EYLA). A second workshop is scheduled for March 11-12 in Phoenix for Western states. The workshops also let states discuss how planning is going, learn from each other about stakeholder outreach and governance structures, and develop regional connections and collaboration, said NTIA.
