Sure there is. > There's no excuse for this happening -- AT&T announced the end of life of 2G four years ago in 2012. Now Muni claims that the shutdown took them by surprise and they are scrambling to replace all of the old 2G equipment Typically, what that means is, pulled out of the ciphered jargon, "Relevant technical information was not adequately conveyed to the appropriate management in such a fashion as to outlast political appointment churn, thus, the current execs had no idea". It's a two sided problem: well meaning and ignorant top levels and wellmeaning and poor communicating lower management. The other analysis is that the current leadership was hung out on a limb to dry by the people who did know it was a problem, and the current leadership couldn't surface the relevant information. :-)
