Delaware County Council has entered into a mobile services contract that will save the county more than $500,000 over three years and more than $100,000 this year alone.
“It’s a huge cost savings … by switching providers for our telecom service from AT&T to T-Mobile,” Michael Campellone, the county’s deputy chief information officer, told council at an agenda meeting.
In total, the first year of T-Mobile service will cost Delaware County $315,069 and includes a first-year incentive of $85,000 for switching.
Council Member Elaine Paul Schaefer thanked him for finding these savings and asked if it included devices in the county Department of Emergency Services.
“The county is always looking for cost-savings, and T-Mobile provided us with a proposal that enabled the county to enter into an agreement that will produce real cost savings for Delaware County residents,” he said.
