The FirstNet Store Is Open and Ready for Business

After a long gestation period, FirstNet is ready for prime time.

I am beginning to see FirstNet advertising. These ads all direct you to the FirstNet website.

Remember, you don't have to use AT&T FirstNet. If you are happy with your current carrier — then so be it. I do think you owe it to your organization to check out FirstNet and its capabilities before declining its use out of hand.
