How About One Cell Phone Plan for Defense?

Buried deep in the Defense Department mobile device strategy released today is a suggestion for a long overdue cost-saving idea: a centrally managed cell phone expense management system.

Outfits like The Bill Police help commercial enterprises centrally manage their cell phones -- including ways to re-allocate unused minutes from one phone to another -- and Defense could probably save bug bucks with the same approach.

I read FedBizOpps every day, and at least once a week some outfit in Defense has posted a cell phone service procurement. That’s an inefficient way to buy minutes for the world’s largest enterprise.
