Essex County (NY) is in a strange situation, needing to upgrade its public safety radio network, but without the necessary frequency licenses to build the system. So the county has accepted an offer from Motorola to pay the company $495,000 to purchase the license to four frequencies the company apparently holds in the marine band. Motorola may also be the company the county picks to build the new radio system. http://www.pressrepublican.com/0100_news/local_story_309043131.html
