Telecom vendors will go back to sell telephony and transport gear. All like before. and this is perfect example of your ignorance elmo. With 80% traffic been date, how you envision vendors just to sell telephony transport gear. If CSCO in LAN and NT or ALA in telephony, where is WAN? Who will send data (consumer, corporations, banks) from one city to another, from US to Germany etc. Did you hear news from Qwest today. They are making lots of money on data and DSL!!! I know you theory, some day wireless will take care of everything. In meantime (next 5-10 years) we'll live in darkness. Keep talking ZO

telecoms will come back to its historical growth rate of 10 to 12% a year. this historical growth was based on growth of vice revenue which was a function of economic growth. Today, data growth is making $ for carriers, voice is going down, and data growth even in week economy is huge. This would suggest that average growth over the next 10 year can be higher then 10-12%. I am now saying 25%, but many, much better analysts then Sagawa, are looking from 15-18%. ZO
