[TrunkCom] York County, PA information

[Jeff Kenyon]

Hi Shawn and the group.  I am thinking that they got a big break too.  My
understanding was that htey wanted to award the contract to a PA based
company, and some how and I don't know when but M/Acomm bought the company
and they were talked into OpenSky.  I also had read a very long time ago
in 1998 that the original plan was to go with Motorola.  I was anxious to
hear how that would work out because at the time with our MPSCS in
Michigan there were a lot of issues and we don't ahve the mountains and
other elements that PA has, and our system hadn't yet been fully
operational, and at the time where I was living in Traverse City, which is
the northern part of the state whenever the MPSCS would come up either
in conversation or news the question was always "where will the towers go,
and how will it improve things?"
