Telecommunications Future?

Where is the Public Telecommunication Network going in the next 5-years, 10-years? I started to say, the sky's the limit; but as I'm typing I realize that is probably not true. We already have access to Hubble Telescope images on our computers! We see amazing new services everyday being made available to anyone with a broadband connection. I was looking at an aquarium on ebay and found I could configure a text message to my cell phone to remind me to check before the bidding ended. I've read some article that 40-50 Mb services are not uncommon to homes in certain parts of Asia. It just keeps going and going.

I made a giant step this year and am only keeping one yellow pages book. In our area, we get 5 to 7 different books from different publishers all covering slightly different areas and having different advertisers. I used to dutifully stack them up, in case I needed to find something. I've done this for the past two years and never used them at all. Everything I've needed I've found faster and easier using the internet. This year as they landed on the front porch, they went straight to the recycle bin - except one... I'm having a hard time letting go of that last one - maybe next year!

Telco Resources

There are many resources available for Dedicated T1 Pricing available on the internet. There are also many other Telecom related resources and information available to help educate the consumer to find the best value for the telecommunications budget.

Here are several of my favorite blogs for T1, DSL Availability and VoIP Information.
