Delay on $20B Federal Network Costs Carriers Million$

Via NetworkWorld.

An unexpected delay in the award of a 10-year, $20 billion network deal will cost U.S. carriers millions of dollars in lost revenue and lack of productivity from key staff, industry analysts say.

In a surprise move, the federal government announced Tuesday it would delay for nine months the award of Networx, which is one of the largest network bids up for grabs in the world today. The Networx program will provide legacy and leading-edge voice, data and video services to all federal agencies.
