Have one single equipment authorization standard.

This isn't the 1920's...adopt one standard that all radio services' transmitters must meet for equipment authorization rather than the current haphazard hodge-podge arrangement. This will aid emergency managers is selecting equipment, foster MUCH greater competition among equipment manufacturers, and allow us to launch new telecommunications services faster.
