"The team is mostly policy people and extraordinarily capable but mostly non-technical." WHY?? The best way of solving this is to have highly technical people included who can say, as I said often at the FCC, as Chief Technologist, to pleadings by companies to the Chairman, "you are not telling it correctly? "
Unfortunately, this is true also in the emergency communications area. Police, fire, EMS, and OEP people are being saddled with radio systems designed by salesmen and approved by politicians, neither with real expertise in critical systems. The E-911 systems are also seriously deficient for similar reasons.-- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 73, E-mail | lrkn () sbcglobal net | | Lyn Kennedy | | | K5QWB ICBM | 32.5 North 96.9 West | ---Livin' on an information FARM road a few miles off the superhighway---
