My comments are the rock in the big pond. YES. However, just back from INTER COMM 97.
Anybody who thinks that in three years from now, when PCS is taking hold, when CATV companies offer dial tone and telcos are offering TV, we will be operating the old T1 pipe infrastructure, is ready for a rude awakening. We are in for a VERY competitive ICT (Information and Communications Technologies) business period, that will involve a restructuring of our infrastructures. You won't even be able to sell the equipment as second hand equipment to developing countries. They'll be leapfrogging those technologies. IEC-950 and its derivatives (EN 60 950, UL 1950, CSA 950) will probably have to change as well. They were never intended for the technologies we are inventing as we go. Aren't I lucky that I am part of an interesting world in my dotage. Ciao, Vic Buy stock in equipment and software providers. Sell stock in competing service providers you don't believe will make it.
