Welcome to the Jungle
Some of the best conversation around the water-cooler is about our kids. We joke and brag about them, and often share unilateral grievances. The topic du jour is the mobile phone phenomenon currently sweeping the teen-aged nation. If you have teenagers at home, you KNOW what I'm talking about. Most of the stories are pretty comical, but some have me a bit alarmed. Ok, more than a bit. Read on. [More]

What to Consider as You Secure Broadband Stimulus Funding
The U.S. Federal Broadband Stimulus package provides an incredible opportunity for American communities and telecom equipment vendors alike. We are about to embark on the most beneficial infrastructure upgrade since FDR's New Deal which could greatly enhance the lives of those on the wrong side of the Digital Divide. And those of us in the Telecom industry are chomping at the bit to get to work and make it happen. However, most of the latest Stimulus news has focused on the definitions of broadband and what "unserved" and "underserved" really means. So while we wait for the Federal Government to figure out the details, it's a great time to start looking at broadband solutions. [More]
