so it will not be only motorola devices. whoever else is out there is trying to get up to the technology to be able to support this as well. supervisor avalos: related to that question, i am sure that is an issue nationwide because motorola has this contract to provide this service. that is the understanding everywhere, other entities that provide telecommunications would be able to access this is done -- system? >> in other jurisdictions that got the top grant, motorola does not necessarily have the infrastructure. there are other companies out there competing with motorola. what the federal government has told us is they all have to interface because they want several system to go across the country. i believe i failed to mention this. this is a lot of money we're talking about. because it is stimulus money, the fed's are really looking at us, can you really spend it? louisiana's money was pulled in august. one of the recipients has lost their money because they were not able to show, in good faith, that they were moving f

and motorola is to apply for the grant. they received $50 million to build out this system in the bay area region. motorola has since worked with us and come forward and said they would put forward a $23 million matched to that grant. in addition to that, they will put forward a $21 million match him to do site remediation on at the sites that we need to put up the antennas. we're basically talking about $100 million that is coming into the region that is free for us that is going to build out this system that will be state of the art. there are very strict deadlines that we need to adhered to, because the ntia grant, by this coming summer, 2012, we need to be two-thirds substantially complete. things have taken a long time to get where we are right now, because working as a region, you know what it it is like in the city working. you have to do compromises. as a region, it is the more challenging, but we did stand up at jpa last may, which you unanimously approved. i am representing san francisco and the jpa, in this regio

motorola has walked the sites with us. all we need to do is purchase the equipment and get it installed. we have done all the preparatory work. so, yes, i am very confident that by this summer, if we pass this agreement, we can spend two-thirds of the money. supervisor avalos: thank you. i know you are in the middle of your presentation. if you want me to wait until the end -- supervisor chu: that would be great. thank you, supervisor. >> all right, so i am not exactly sure where i was sick. but i think some of the questions that have come up that i wanted to address specifically, and certainly i know chief sur wants to speak as well is -- why can we not just use a commercial carrier? even on our own jpa, people have asked that. wouldn't it be cheaper to use a commercial carrier? there are a couple reasons. the first one is reliability. in a big event, say the big earthquake happens, commercial carriers are going to be overwhelmed. all of us already have our iphones are our blackberries or smart phones. those commercial ca
