Good evening!
In reading many upon MANY posts in these forums and observing how some surrouning states are doing their systems, one has to ask, "Why doesn't Nebraska seem to have a comprehensive plan for a unified state-wide, interoperable communications system?"
I realize that there are a MULTITUDE of issues to work around when considering this point, and there's always the issue of the heat drastically affecting that small grove of "money trees" in the far northwest reaches of the state, but it just seems as if everyone is out doing their own thing, thinking very little of how to make everything work together.
For instance, you still have the NSP running the good ole' low-band system, and you have counties, like the one named for Peter Cass, who are building systems that don't seem to have forward-looking capacities to co-operate with neighboring systems, such "ORIN".
I know that it's easy to say all of this, considering the politics and other issues that come up, but from the layman's point of view, it seems as if a more centralized "view" needs to come into play.
Those are just some random thoughts - what does everyone think?
