Sanswire & Emergency Communications Systems Confer.12/13
Bob Jones spoke at the National Conference on Emergency Communications Systems this past Dec. 12-13.
Am taking this obviously as a very favorable outcome of November's Sky Dragon presentation to the gov't. Wished Bob had also spoken on panel 7, but GTE is just getting it's feet proverbially "wet" here so as the upstart it may take time to work our way up to the likes of Northrop et al. Will say no more; just felt like sharing again.
National Conference on Emergency Communications Systems
December 12-13, 2005
George Washington University—Media and Public Affairs Building-Auditorium, 805 21st St. NW, Washington, D.C.
Conference Objectives:
A series of disastrous events in the U.S. and abroad has alerted us to the fact that our emergency response capabilities are woefully lacking. The objectives for the National Conference on Emergency Communications (NCEC) are to identify ways to upgrade U.S. emergency communications systems as well as methods to make them more interoperable. There is a further specific objective to develop a White Paper that comes up with top recommendations as to how to improve emergency communications and IT systems. This White Paper will build on not only the results of the December 12-13 Conference but also will incorporate ideas and proposals from testimony before the U.S. Congress, policy papers such as those developed by Mobile Satellite Ventures, the Satellite Industry Association, press articles and interviews with key officials and executives from the private and public sectors.
It is hoped that the recommendations that emerge from the NCEC and the ensuing White Paper will be innovative, cost-effective and realistic. Although many recommendations will require public funding at the national, state, local or even international level, it is believed, that in some cases, proposed actions might be implemented by commercial organizations on the basis of various incentive or tax credits or via standards-making organizations. It is hoped that results, conclusions and recommendations from the NCEC and the following White Paper will be highlighted in the national and trade press to be maximum extend possible. Further it is intended that the White Paper will go directly to key people in Congress, in the Executive Branch and other state and local agencies.
