New York's wireless network for emergency workers canceled
The New York Times
Plans for a statewide wireless network for emergency workers have been canceled, after years of delays and numerous technological snags. The state's CIO sent the contractor, M/A-COM, a subsidiary of Tyco Electronics, a letter that included a 10-page summary of the deficiencies that M/A-COM did not remedy. The state is considering a number of alternative technologies, though it was unclear when one or more of them might be selected.
