Howdy Christine,

You didn't correct my spelling directly...I just noticed I "butchered" both of the politician's names yesterday and you spelled
them correctly (remember the two Dicks? Better known as the GOZinYA twins) <heh,heh>

As for being near a college campus...no, but the precursor to this market and product for all communication companies was the "on campus" phone system.

I worked for Sprint for over 5 years as a National Program Manager. It was there that I "cut my teeth" on both the telephony industry and the college & university markets. I was hired because I had a background of sales, management, mis (computers) and support. Since the product was brand new they weren't sure what direction it would go and so they looked for someone with more variety rather than one or two strong suits. I was VERY fortunate. Our program went from 3 institutions (year one) to around 140 when I decided to move on. We had a good team!

With today's technology location is basically a non-issue. If there was a benefit relative to location it would be the central time zone (for obvious reasons.) Other items to be considered (depending on your product and service) is the available personnel to fill positions, vendors, subcontractors who are familiar with the technology, "points-of-presence" (i.e. local and/or long distance POPs, etc.)and a reasonably good transportation environment (especially airlines.) Although most of these are secondary concerns.

Whew...I better be careful..before I know it you're going to know more than me...than what???? ;-)

Hope this clarified that a little more...

T.R.
