Suggest that there are two (at least) genres that need to be merged --
treated together.  Emergency services (reach to fire/ ambulance/
police/ ...) is the other genre.  In a disaster, expect a push to build
out both.

Emergency services communications is one of the bastions of non-IP
technologies.  P25 is an example of a protocol heavily pushed by
various emergency services agencies. But it's non-routable.  Much of
the development has been colored by the perceived need to jam whatever
comms link is concocted into the narrowband Land Mobile Radio channels
(25kHz and less).  

The economics is that the two genres end up costing twice for the
infrastructure.  This is true both for permanent infrastructure and
quick-build into disaster areas.  

Warning: this is an area of acrimonious debate, often sadly lacking in
facts.  But it is a debate that needs to be joined.
