> After a couple emergencies where communication was identified as a big issue, they proposed moving back to the old radio system, but they had already sold off the frequencies

This is one of those cases where, if it isn't broke dont fix it was a rule to be followed.

Now its hard for the company to fallback to the old system, since they need to buy another set of frequencies, before they can even plan to rebuild the radio tower network.

Since they had stopped with the good running radio network to cut costs (unwise since it ran fantastic) the chance that they will invest in restarting such a network is not really big, unless they get heavy lossses due to their unreliable current system of modern (but worthless) gadgetry
