Our analysis generally pre-dates the presentation of the FirstNet conceptual network architecture, and we recognize that the concepts presented in this response will require further refinement as the FirstNet architecture is refined and detailed.  We welcome an opportunity for continued dialog to both present the concepts in greater detail and to understand from FirstNet the areas that warrant additional study.
