While it made very few headlines, it was recently reported that the Department of Homeland Security and telecommunications corporation AT&T are quietly working toward a 39 million dollar contract, of which AT&T has already received 11.7 million.

Intentionally obfuscated behind the bland, benign phrasing of “emergency communications services,” the real end result of this type of contract will surely not be good for the common people.

As reported by Executive Biz:

AT&T has received $11.7 million from the Defense Information Systems Agency to exercise a contract option to provide emergency communications services to the Department of Homeland Security.

The new work supports the DHS Office of Emergency Communications’ Priority Telecommunication Service program that intended to meet communications requirements for crisis, attack, recovery and reconstitution missions, the Defense Department said Friday.

The award brings the total contract value to $39.5 million, DoD added.

The contract option runs from April 1 to March 31, 2017 — the second of nine option years in the base contract that commenced Aug. 1, 2014.
