Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:

This regards a request by Broad Comm, Inc. (Broad Comm) for Special Temporary Authority (STA) to allow use of a number of frequencies to provide video and aural coverage to a number of television stations as well as ground support and logistics for a Red Bull Air Race World Series 2008 event. This is a major international event and this application includes setup and pre-event activities that will take place in Detroit, MI over the period from May 23 through June 4, 2008. The actual location for the event is the over the Detroit River with planes taking off and landing at a nearby airstrip. This area is in downtown Detroit between the General Motor?s Renaissance Center and Bell Isle Park along the newly renovated Detroit RiverFront. This is a very large and potentially hazardous event for the pilots and the many thousands of attendees. Public Safety concerns are paramount at events of this magnitude, where coordination and communications have been issues in the past and the consequences have been tragic. Good Communications, both audio and video, is key to minimizing the risks to the public and the pilots. Wireless video cameras will continually monitor the speeding planes as they navigate the race course. The timing and risk is comparable to the Blue Angels, with the added uncertainty of a true air race. The significant majority of the channels being applied for have been used previously at air races of this kind. We require the use of these special channels because there simply are not sufficient channels in the unlicensed bands, or in the BAS bands. The use of these channels will preclude interference, without which, the lives of the crews of both the aircraft and the public are at severe risk. Additionally, there is a historically large crowd that will be viewing these events, from the shore. Any lack or loss of communications poses a direct and major risk to public safety, as well as homeland security, in the event of a simultaneous terrorist threat In addition, AFTRCC frequency coordination for the frequencies 2367 MHz and 2384 has been requested.
