if you'd like to debate the radio issue - the requirements the uniformed services have for how they want these radios to work, are impossible to meet, that's why they still don't have them. its certainly not lack of money.

So Rudy is such a strong leader, he was unable to overcome such bureacratic obstacles to getting key infrastructure in place?

BWAHAHAHA!

its a technical obstacle. firefighters want a short reach band so they can talk locally "on the scene" at a fire, they want a long range band so they can communicate with stations, headquarters, and trucks in motion. the police want the same setup, separate from the firemen. and then they want bands where they can talk between the services (police and fire). and then they want all of this stuff - to be able to work inside skyscrapers in manhattan.

that's the problem.
