What is verifiable is that you took the bait….
Back to the basement Frank.
“you continue to make up lies to try and support your position”
This douche sounds just like the Whitehouse
Firstnet = FAKENET

you continue to make up lies to try and support your position
v does not own 90% of the first responder network-provide proof of that...we'll wait.
"WPS, GETS blah blah blah, is exactly why T fails"
What are you rambling about here, this is a straight up verifiable fact WPS is what Verizon brands as a unique voice priority offering go read their website...
You would know this if you were a Verizon employee, and I think I'd remember someone like you in the product development & marketing meetings,unless that was you delivering the pizzas, and sandwiches, so I'mma-gonna say you're one of those bitter ex at&t people that's been recently let go.
As to your comment on subscribers growth
2022
Verizon's wireless segment only gained 201,000 postpaid phone subscribers in 2022. AT&T 656,000 postpaid phone net adds; nearly 2.9 million for the full year
That’s why “V” owns the 90% of the first responder network. WPS, GETS blah blah blah, is exactly why T fails, a LastNet poster vomiting why T’s fantasy network is better. Subscribers speak louder than your technically weak and absent marketing brochure.
“ This shows what a 5#*t poster your are.”
Get out of your mom’s basement already.
@1hps+1pgYhL76
V has had priority on their first responder network for decades.
This shows what a 5#*t poster your are.
“V” has not had a first responder network for decades, Frontline is a rebranding of “V”’s commercial network which they created a couple of years ago to try and compete against FirstNet. That priority you are so ignorantly speaking of is simply WPS which is a legacy government offering along with GETS which all carriers support if the end user is qualified by Homeland Security. While T does a lot of things wrong in my opinion, FirstNet is not one of them.
FirstNet should be called last net. “New “ lines are just conversions from commercial T lines. Seeing 5 FirstNet reps standing behind a picnic table with a $40 banner hanging behind them is reminiscent of a State Fair blender demonstration. V has had priority on their first responder network for decades. What is the most laughable is the entire organization thinks it’s viable…..they also believe in the Easter Bunny.
Firstnet is a joke!
"They count every IoT device using the FN network as a 'connection'. "
So? Every public safety vehicle I've seen lately has multiple connected devices. They aren't "connections"?
My local fire trucks have MDT's that show hydrant locations, satellite maps, industrial and large residential building floorplans, even interior photos of large factories and places storing HAZMAT.
Another failed T business venture. Everybody has Firstnet- if your wife’s cousin is a firefighter you qualify😀
AT&T is providing what the Government ("customer") is requesting in their bid. If you think the service is below standard or mis-represented, then you should check the government issued RFP. Let your government officials know there are more advanced services that AT&T can provide to increase First Responders' safety and response times; maybe the sales force has lost employees thru layoffs also and can't provide all the marketing needed.
They count every IoT device using the FN network as a 'connection'. FirstNet was conceived to be a public safety communications network where officers from different agencies could interoperate. There are only ~ 350,000 people using FirstNet for voice communications. It won't take the place of Land Mobile Radio for a long, long time if it ever does.
WHO CARES!
