Is i remember when everything was handled in house by the FAA.

The company i worked for wanted the FAA's money so bad that they bent over promising them the world yet delivered two systems that were crap. TDLS and Gulfnet. Gulfnet was horrible because they were feeding audio to two transmitters via crap copper lines in Cancun and Merida, Mexico.

When i left the biz in 2010, they were trying to sell them on a Voip system using Avtec consoles
