Something else is starting to happen with increasing frequency (in the technology sectors, at least). Startups, funded by venture capital, are becoming sort of contract R&D labs.

Keeps the pesky little mammals from getting at the dinosaur eggs.:)
I can second Uncle Roger's nomination, PacBell got me hooked up and online with DSL quite nicely. They even showed up for the first install appointment!
It took a couple of days after the install to get all the kinks worked out, but the link has been working like a charm now since February.
