But don't be suprised when the Bells use the tools at their disposal to survive.
Survival is the plan at SBC. My sister works for SBC. Here are her points.
Maintaining the current twisted pair mess is expensive. SBC would like to just let this cable rot.
Fiber and the associated routers are far easier to maintain, and do not require a service call for every little change.
The Bells need to be saved from all of the competitors listed in the article.
Those who doubt the high maintainence costs of the present network should look at their condo/apartment wiring box. It's usually a mess.
I don't think SBC should be helped in their plight, my sister excluded. It appears each community has for defend its own right to a non-monopolized network.
Google Scholar seems like it's just a much better interface to the same idea
I agree. Some quick results of a vanity search. I found all of my papers and more through Google. Citeseer found none of them. I'm still hunting. Google even found papers where I was listed as an author which I did not know existed.
It is interesting that Google (bombing|spamming) in the world of article references predates Google. Want a promotion in the academy? Cite yourself hundreds of times in your own articles, and your citation count goes through the roof, like this. Promotions and disgust from colleagues usually follow.

What will we do with the waste?
Obesity is a growing problem, but scientists say the nuclear waste will remain between the nuclear hips and the nuclear chest.
And I'm sure the scientists found Sam's everlasting Lambas bread, still not completely eaten from his last trip.
