Desi in Australia autoritatile nu sunt chiar atat de entuziasmate de iPhone-urile celor de la Apple, in Noua Zeelanda politia va cumpara 9.900 de iPhone-uri si tablete iPad pentr angajatii sai. Cei de la Vodafone au castigat un contract cu politia din Noua Zeelanda, iar cele 9.900 de iDevice-uri vor ajunge la 6000 de politisti. Toti cei 6000 de politisti vor primi cate un iPhone, 3900 dintre ei vor primi si cate o tableta iPad, intreaga achizitie insumand aproximativ 4.3 milioane de dolari, terminalele fiind furnizate de catre Apple.
Just over 6000 frontline police are getting smartphones, Prime Minister John Key, Police Minister Anne Tolley and Police Commissioner Peter Marshall announced today. And of those 6000, 3900 will also get a tablet. The 10-year outsourced deal was won by Vodafone and represents new business for the company. The smartphones and tablets will be supplied by Apple. The initial cost of the rollout is $4.3 million over three months, police say. Over the next 10 years, they will spend $159 million in operating expenditure to fund the initiative.
Ministerul de interne din Noua Zeelanda va cheltui aproape 160 de milioane in decursul a 10 ani pentru a acoperi costurile privind functionalitatea terminalelor in reteaua de telefonie mobila a celor de la Vodafone, insa important aici este ca guvernul a ales iDevice-uri si nu alte terminale cu alt sistem de operare.
