I would like to know if anyone has any insight on what will happen to exising agreements that current CLEC's have with the RBOC's.
Also, I wanted to through my cents in. I don't know if anyone noticed, but this is not going to make much difference (if you look into my future glass ball). In a year or so, SBC or Bell South will buy MCI (after they come out of bankruptcy). AT&T will also be bought. There will be more steps taken towards the consolidation of the telecom industry. We will once again be back with 1 or 2 huge phone companies (providing both local and long distance services). They can bundle in dsl, they can add voip services, and might as well buy the local cable company or even better yet, merge with a national cable company. (Or a parternship ala time warner + MCI style). Whether the TCOM ACT of 1996 remains in effect or not, the telco's will once again be too huge for the little guy to survive.
Do not worry though, the telecom act of 2016 will break said companies back up again! (in the return of Judge Greene!)
Yes, a very good whitepaper, technically speaking. However, it completely disregards all political and economical implecations involved with the whole.NET technology, which are by no means marginal.
Last I checked, the open source community is not really after Windows and Micros~1. We're just out to develop better software. It has nothing to do with MS. Don't kill em, just offer something better.
I've refreshed/. about 20 times, trying to get the "Microsoft.NET ad" I got earlier today when I was at work. Micros~1 can advertise on/. ? never knew that. Wish i'd taken a screen capture.
