So funny! That is the marketing trap isn't it? That the MCSE actually accounts for any credibility. A lovely topic of discussion at lunch a short time ago. ..What certifications do we really think are worthwhile in considering a candidate to work on Wintel boxes? A+ That was the consensus. At least that gives them a working knowledge of PC hardware. Give us an MCSE and then he can be the jr. and aprento to one of the Seniors in the old school on the job learning environment.
But let a person loose because they have an MCSE. Suicidal!
I live in San Jose, Heart of the Silicon Valley. Yeah right. The infrastructure in a good part of the area is decrepit. The phoneline connected to my home via posts! There is NO plan to provide DSL or Cable Modem to my neighborhood in the foreseeable future. Along comes Wavepath, which is then gobbled by Sprint into a new spin-off, Sprint Broadband Wireless. I have had there residential service for a month. I've had no problem with access or speed so far. I'm also testing it for work, to determine if it will meet our need for an alternative for folks who cannot get hardwire DSL or Cable Modems.
As for the service "Not being for the US", that's an unbelieveable statement. Even in our own technology rich area, we cannot all telecommute effectively because of bandwidth. Prior to the Wireless DSL I had a 3com 56k LAN Modem servicing my home network. The local bandwidth over this ancient infrastructure never exceeded 38k. Yes, I could get IDSL, with 144kbps speed for a mere $89.95/mo, $119.95 if I want a static IP. The Wireless DSL is $49.95 and gives me 1.5mbps, compareable to hardwire DSL.
Sure, there's no need for it. . .
