Pa Senate: The failed statewide radio project and ability to recover

Some Pa State senators call the current State Police Open Sky radio
system a waste of up to a billion dollars.
The following link has the testimony from last year. Interesting comments
at 11;00 Minutes and 27:30 minutes,39;00 minutes and 46;00 minutes.

Fast forward to this year and the issues are still not resolved. State
officials in the early 2000's decided against a project which works with all
systems, Project 25 "modulation". Instead they picked the Open Sky system
which only work with equipment supplied by one company. No possible way to
have other radio companies bid on the replacement radios.
Interesting testimony on 1 hour and 30 minutes and again at one hour and 50
minutes.
