FirstNet is a program that was created and sponsored by the
federal government after 9/11/2001. As it was shown, first responders and
critical service providers couldn’t get through the communication lines with
the mass number of people making calls all at the same time. This program
prioritizes these types of responders, as to “put them at the front of the call
line” allowing for calls to go through in highly congested areas such as
sporting events, festivals and during catastrophic events.
