The school I went to was pretty much a four year technical college. In the end I was given a B.S. degree in Telecommuniaton Systems, but I'm not sure what that means. I think the hands-on, technical training landed me a great job with great pay, but I think having more of a "learn the concepts, learn the origins" degree would help me acheive a higher salary in the future.
Does this mainly just impact smaller companies? I'm not sure if major corporations use routers with the firewall feature set, rather a true firewall instead. If that's the case, there shouldn't be huge consequences for this. I doubt small companies that would use the firewall feature set are hacker targets as much as the larger corps are.
Really if you like being involved with technology, an IT manager job would be gravy. Some of the lead engineers where I work put in around 60 hours a week to satisfy their $120k jobs. My manager, however, works pretty strictly 9-5 for a higher salary and seemingly less stress. I wouldn't mind heading into management someday. Of course I just graduated college in May, so I could be straying far from reality.
I think that VoIP will be rolled out even slower than once thought. Our company just renewed long distance contracts with AT&T for just over 2 cents per minute. How much cheaper can you get before the service is free and the carrier falls apart? AT&T is already a pretty sick company, less revenue is _not_ the key to their recovery. All the business people in our company always ask why we're not using VoIP in call centers yet, and the real answer is that we're not even sure it'll be cheaper than PSTN.
That's kind of funny. The company I work for works closely with AT&T and provides them with a lot of revenue. In our weekly meeting with our AT&T team today, they told us their VoIP road map is being delayed based on problems they're having with Juniper. So if AT&T wants to speed of the VoIP process, they could get their own plan going before influencing others.
Personally, if an application can use my search records to provide me with more information I'm actually interested in, I'd welcome the oppurtunity. If anyone is concerned with privacy, they don't need to install it! I'm still waiting for the time to come when I don't have to watch tampon commercials on my television!
AT&T is attempting to do good with this. I believe the "upgrade" phones run at 850mhz, providing better service to the areas the "upgrades" are offered. They're trying to offer better service to their customers without losing a lot of money on giving away expensive phones.
You don't even need software for this. You can buy a little inconspicuous hardware unit that plugs inbetween the keyboard and computer. When you want to view the keyboard strokes, simply pick up the unit and pop it into your computer. It can then mount as a hard drive.
Perhaps now I can regain some of the money I lost in the freaking stock of AOL!

Another thing worth taking a look at is the legalities behind both systems in the US. While cable companies are selling broadband internet service with little to no regulation, phone companies must abide by numerous policies set for them in years past. This leads to unfair competition and an unfair advantage for the cable companies. It helps explain the reason why cable is winning! The Breaux-Nickles bill in congress was attempting to even up the regulations.
FYI:
Getting a new phone solved the problems you were having with dropped calls and a limited service area, however, the old phone was not the problem. Each phone has software loaded in it called a preferred roaming list. You could have gone to any sprint store and asked them to upgrade the software. It pretty much tells the phone which towers it can use. Of course, this wouldn't fix your broken speaker phone;)
If you ask me, this request is quite lame. Microsoft has created a product, and the government of China can use it if they so desire. If they need it to create a firewall-type software package for their machines, why not ask Microsoft to create that instead? Something just seems overly fishy here. Besides, an external firewall would most likely provide better control and better performance for all users.
All the employees at the company are going ape shit right now calling friends and telling them to buy stock in the company because their website is so busy;)
A local ISP in hickville, Wisconsin also carries this service, and has been doing so for quite some time. Find out more at http://home.wctc.net/dsl/index.html
