GIG is an all-encompassing communications project of the United States Department of Defense. It is defined as a "globally interconnected, end-to-end set of informationcapabilities for collecting, processing, storing, disseminating, and managing information on demand towarfighters, policy makers, and support personnel." GIG includes owned and leased communications andcomputing systems and services, software (including applications), data, security services, other associatedservices, and National Security Systems.• Impact of the National Broadband Plan under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009,providing $7 billion in broadband network loans and grants.Judging by the number of occurring and planned deployments and by the wide range of needed and suitableapplications, the US government sector stands out as a leader in its use of wireless. In fact, the survey discoveredthat wireless voice and data applications are poised for continued growth in government, assuming that concernsabout security of mobile communications can be resolved. Market Research Media forecasts that the U.S. government wireless voice and data spending (services andequipment) will maintain fast growth, 13.8% CAGR, over the next six years. Market Research Media's new quantitative reportU.S. Government Wireless Voice and Data Spending Forecast2010-2015provides the following insights:• Six-year detailed forecast for the period 2010-2015;• Wireless spending segmentation by services/equipment;
