Problems with the massive effort to upgrade the FAA's telecommunications infrastructure have caused at least three major failures recently in the air-traffic control system, the New York Times reports today. The agency already has lost out on $130 million in projected savings from the program, a figure that could top $200 million.

 

Tom Shoop is vice president and editor in chief at Government Executive Media Group, where he oversees both print and online editorial operations. He started as associate editor of Government Executive magazine in 1989; launched the company’s flagship website, GovExec.com, in 1996; and was named editor in chief in 2007.
