If not in other cases, it seems that the government and the software giant are in good terms when it comes to Windows Phone. Usually both of them never used to be in good terms. The US government is a big time technology buyer. The Federal budget for the year 2014 for Information Technology is around 81 billion dollars. Moreover, according to the White House Budget, the Fiscal 2105 Federal IT budget would dip down to 79 billion dollars.

The software giant is expecting that the US government would very soon realize the use of Windows Phone 8.1 built with the help of the Redmond giant. Microsoft expects that the government would soon relies its usefulness and consider buying them for the officers, since they have been pressurized to switch to a more gadget enabled work style.
