NEW YORK TERMINATES M/A-COM CONTRACT, ALSO SEEKS MONEY
« on: January 16, 2009, 1228 UTC »
The state of New York today announced that it has terminated the $2 billion contract with Tyco Electronics M/A-COM to build a statewide public-safety network and has demanded payment of at least $50 million. The state claims that the results of November tests indicate that the new system is “unacceptable for public-safety use.”
