The Department of Commerce’s FirstNet must establish a nationwide broadband network for public safety officials (like police officers and firefighters).
In 2017, FirstNet awarded AT&T a contract to deploy, operate, and maintain the network. AT&T is meeting contract milestones.

This has led to speculation about the extent of FirstNet’s oversight of AT&T, which could affect network users’ and stakeholders’ continued support of the program.
