In an era when information can be sent instantaneously anywhere, it is utterly nonsensical that our Nation's police, the fire, and EMS personnel cannot consistently communicate with each other.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
U.S. companies need clear guidelines on when they have to turn over electronic communications to law enforcement if that information is stored abroad. The current uncertainty harms U.S. businesses and their customers and does not well-serve our foreign relationships.
Radio interoperability is essential for our police, fire, and emergency medical service departments to communicate with each other in times of emergency.
States are looking for low-cost solutions that will enable better communication, while avoiding the danger in which the chain of command breaks down in emergencies. We do not want everyone talking to everyone else all the time.
It would be unwise to say the least, irresponsible of us at the TSA, at the Homeland Security Department not to evolve our technology to match the changing threat environment that we inhabit.
There's a direct relationship between how difficult it is to send a message and how strongly it is received.
In general, the Internet was not designed to accommodate deliberate failures to communicate.
The way communication works is changing.
Without a possibility of change in meanings human communication could not perform its present functions.
There is nothing we like to communicate to others as much as the seal of secrecy together with what lies under it.
Through historical accident, we've ended up with a global network that pretty much allows anybody to communicate with anyone else at any time.
