Government, at all levels, cannot afford to build unique and proprietary public safety communications infrastructure or integrated software packages that prevent sharing of data. <BR/><BR/>I have often pondered whether public safety would be better off if we started requiring all of our IP-based applications to utilize Linux or some other open source software. <BR/><BR/>I would encourage you to keep reminding people that IP-based transport is important, but only part of the solution. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again, <BR/><BR/>Pete Eggimann <BR/>Director of 911 Services <BR/>Metropolitan Emergency Services Board <BR/>St. Paul, MNCOMCAREhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12992279141341864089noreply@blogger.com
