The prime vendor selection came under a Homeland Security-managed, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity Tactical Communications Equipment and Services contract.

I check the search form and I didn't see any related topics so far. Though this was put out on March 15, 2012, it caught my eyes to see what does the ATS communty think about this.

I don't know but I see alot of changes coming here soon with all this DHS attention thats been caught up on as of lately.

Well, I'm not sure there is a whole lot to be gleaned from this (out of the ordinary that is).

It seems that they are simply streamlining their Disaster Response readiness maybe?

It's a nice read though

I noticed that many of the professional and collegiate football coaches/teams use AT&T as their preferred sources for tactical communication - seems like a logical step for them (someone has to not learn from IBM during NAZI Germany). And, AT&T's logo being quite similar to the Death Star, should seem fitting.

Its almost like that every network providers will be force over to work for DHS or they will come up with some telecommunication branch that will oversee all. Oh wait..did speak too soon?

Hope they get the same quality of service the average person receives.

It is hard to find anyone at ATT that can answer any question, solve any problem or actual give a hoot about whatever the call is about.

This does not surprise me because AT&T is a "player". They jumped in bed with fedgov and did illegal wiretapping on Americans during the bush jr administration. If I recall correctly, they were granted amnesty after-the-fact.

They are also eyeball deep in politics.

Yup, "All talk & teasing"
