Andy Seybold’s Public Safety Advocate February 1, 2014

The news is light this week again. One item that did not show up in the news scans this week was my Public Safety Advocate article entitled “Why the Rush to Voice over LTE” I have received more positive comments on this article than I have ever received. It appears as if my comments and thoughts are shared by many within the First Responder community. Thanks to all who took the time to send me comments. The article can be found here:http://andrewseybold.com/3369-why-the-rush-to-voice-over-LTE

Have a great week-end.
