“In the local government area, the Commission should become familiar with ‘how business is done.’ It appears that regarding trunked radio systems, ‘how business is done’ approaches financial terrorism on local governments. This clearly is not in the public interest and the facts show a financial situation where radio products for local governments are market priced a magnitude above comparable commercial products. This situation has evolved through 40 years of vendors rather than customers’ controlling the market place. The epitome of this problem is vendor proprietary infrastructure that locks the local governments to the supplier for the life of the system (10 to15 years); thus the suppliers can charge and do what they so choose. The customer has no recourse.
“除非有重大的监管重组，否则现在将永远不会产生国土安全和全国无缝通信系统的动力。委员会需要强大，不要承受大国游说者的压力。APCO 25系统体系结构将无法满足国家互操作性需求。
“现在，委员会有机会在尚未启动的700MHz频谱中迈出积极的一步。国家无线电系统必须满足地方，州和联邦机构的国家需求，并且必须集成。基础设施必须开放，而不是供应商专有。现在讨论和部署的移动开关只是一个创可贴的修复程序，并且不会为主机基础架构上的访问订户提供无缝，完整的功能。
“我们建议在有线和无线的通用载体系统之后对监管和业务结构进行构图。物理设施应具有成本效益，由覆盖existing细胞部位。管理和政策问题应由政府批准的非营利组织（也许是在MITER商业模式下进行样式）来处理。该愿景将允许使用特定于代理商的订户单位，并开发新的多模订户单元，该单元可能是蜂窝电话，数据单元，私人呼叫单元或调度单元。
“The Commission might want to become familiar with the procurement activities of salient systems that resulted in sole source procurements and nonprofessional engineer involvement regarding life, limb, and property construction projects, which normally require a professional engineer, such as Montgomery County, MD; Baltimore, MD; Albemarle County/Charlottesville/University of Virginia; Richmond, VA market area; State of Michigan; State of Delaware; Chesapeake, VA; etc.
结论
“这是一个国家的挑战现状that is in need of correction.”
