The paper explains why no one has yet been able to crack the cable and phone providers' local monopolies -- and offers a solution: An ADCo (Alternative Distribution Companies) business model.

  1. Microsoft to Provide Virus Support by Guru2Newbie · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Overheard at a M$ presentation today: Microsoft to provide free support with virus problems associated with Microsoft products.

    Call 866-PCSafety (866-727-2338) or visit here Phone excerpt: "Welcome to Microsoft Technical Support...this number has been established to assist customers with virus-related issues." Gaah! Still calling them issues?? I suppose they could have renamed M$-supported viruses to something like Microsoft Covert Replicating Autonomous Processes.
