Navy Phone Bill: $4 Billion

And you thought your phone bill was high. The Navy is paying about $4 billion a year for calls, according to Defense News. And not surprisingly, there is a whole lot of padding in that tab.

A check of telephone bills in the Jacksonville, Fla., area “found that when we have a digital receipt for a phone bill in the area…we are being overcharged 30 percent,” deputy chief of naval operations Vice Adm. Mark Edwards told a group of military-industrial insiders at a recent conference.

Telephone service with no digital receipt showed overcharges of 18 percent, he added.

The Navy’s top IT official said he wasn’t accusing telephone companies, but he just might not let it slide. “What I’m saying is: It’s my money and I want it back. And we’re going to get it back,” he said, to some chuckles.

By recouping 30 percent of the $4 billion tab over the five-year defense plan, “we could build another carrier, just on the phone bill,” noted Edwards, a former ship and carrier battle group commander. “It won’t be quite that easy, but we’re working it.”
And it might not end there. Edwards wants the Navy to change course by replacing traditional landlines for VOIP, or “voice over IP,” communications, he said. “It would save us over 24 percent the first year” and 24 percent the second year, he estimated.

The previous two posters already made my point. The first thought that ran through my mind was what about VOIP? you'd think the Navy of all institutions might think of utilizing such cost saving technology. But Ofcourse the money being given away is taxpayer money, if the Navy had to fend for its self I'd be surprised if their phone bill would be more than a few million dollars never mind $4 BILLION. Please who ever owns this site, please send an email to the Navy telling them to contract with Vonage or some other VOIP provider and stop donating our tax money to telcos. I never thought I'll have a reason to write to my congressman, but that's exactly what I am going to be doing after this post.

nice to meet you

There's just a bit of a problem with this story. The majority of the money paid to the TelCo's isn't for phone service, but for the humungous amount of bandwith the Navy uses.

Between Inter/Intranet and Video TeleConferencing, that's where our money goes. The majority of Navy-Navy phone calls are made via the Defense Switched Network, which is substantially cheaper than a standard phone call.
