MAP Cites Critical Importance of LPFM and Community Wireless in Aftermath of Hurricane Disasters
Posted: Monday August 7, 2006
MAP filed comments on behalf of Prometheus Radio Project, Champaign Urbana Wireless, and several others requesting the Commission make it easier for LPFM and community wireless volunteers to set up communication networks in disaster areas. The FCC in response to the destruction of Hurricane Katrina has convened a panel to determine recommendations for enhancing emergency communications during and after a natural disaster. MAP urged the Commission to eliminate unnecessary regulations and obstacles that could impede the deployment of LPFM stations and community wireless networks.
