   There are some things that mortal men are not supposed to know, and   
   this web page has a breezy, lightweight, breathless explanation of one   
   of them - how our government, having allowed our "public utilities" to   
   sabotage a reliable communications network that was working fine for   
   146 years, has now decided to use our tax money to achieve a goal that   
   I didn't know existed and still can hardly believe was ever consideed   
   viable - constructing another cellular network in parallel with the   
   ever-more-expensive, overly complicated, incredibly delicate network   
   of eyesores that ruin our landscape, turn our church steeples into   
   plastic monuments to mamon, and cause a generation of children to   
   become soulless automatons, unable to relate to other people inches   
   away from them, as they frantically flip through page after page after   
   page of images showing endless clones of a blow-dried-airhead telling   
   them to buy a new product while simpering and preening and trying   
   harder to look like whatever flavor of sincere is   
   Firstnet-fashionable.   
      
   Perhaps you will be able to make more sense out of it. My circuit   
   breaker has tripped.

   What's the news? AT&T is America's public safety communications   
   partner. In the nearly 5 years since we were selected by the First   
   Responder Network Authority (FirstNet Authority) to build and operate   
   FirstNet(r), we have moved quickly to bring more coverage, boost   
   capacity and drive new capabilities for South Carolina first   
   responders and the communities they serve - rural or urban.   
      
   Today, we cover nearly all of the state with FirstNet, Built with AT&T   
   - helping to connect public safety agencies and organizations in more   
   than 150 communities across South Carolina. That's why we're focused   
   on increasing network capacity for South Carolina public safety by   
   deploying Band 14 spectrum - nationwide, high-quality spectrum set   
   aside by the federal government specifically for FirstNet. We've   
   rolled out Band 14 on over 1,000 sites across the state to provide   
   public safety with truly dedicated coverage and capacity when they   
   need it.   
      
   In addition, more South Carolina first responders are gaining access   
   to a one-of-a-kind 5G experience on FirstNet. 5G connectivity on   
   FirstNet is now available in Charleston and Hilton Head.   
      
   And we aren't stopping there. The FCC estimates that over 10,000 lives   
   could be saved each year if public safety were able to reach callers   
   just 1 minute faster. And since 80% of wireless calls take place   
   indoors, in-building dedicated public safety connectivity is essential   
   to public safety operations and overall safety. That's why we are   
   collaborating with Safer Building Coalition, the nation's leading   
   industry advocacy group focused on advancing policies, ideas, and   
   technologies that ensure effective in-building communications   
   capabilities for public safety personnel and the people they serve.
