a.m.-3:30 p.m. On Wednesday, the board set a formal meeting starting at 8 a.m. All take place at the Doubletree Hotel Sacramento, though the public can dial 888-324-8109 and enter participant code 2827944# to listen in.

Rivada Mercury sought to block the Department of Interior's "unlawful decision to exclude" the company's proposal from those under consideration for the network (see 1612020032). FirstNet released a video tutorial on the state plans it will send to states to help them prepare to make a decision on participating in FirstNet. The tutorial “also identifies examples of the key officials and advisors that could be involved in the review process to ensure the Governor is prepared to make the most informed decision” about deploying the network in each state, FirstNet said.
