A nationwide first responder network first proposed after 9/11 is finally being announced today by the Trump administration

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross is expected to announce a 25-year, $6.5 billion contract with AT&T to build a nationwide wireless network for first responders, The Wall Street Journal reports. The project, called FirstNet, was first proposed following the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, but the Trump administration's deal marks the first major step toward it becoming a reality. First responders use the same wireless networks that regular people do, meaning police channels can get clogged by heavy usage from civilians.
