I posted to show two things: Where the POTS came from. Post Office was in charge of telecoms and that mentality percolated the whole sector. It was not on teir plans that the pace would speed up and that stuff had to be junked pretty soon. I seat down here and laugh. Cut for today: The pace of technological innovaton is much faster. It is not worthwhile construct stuff to last more than five years. Note BT saddled by an infrastrcuture made by a company that no longer exist. There is lot of old stuff out there being milked for all it is worth. Here in Curitiba we still have crossbar working na being milked by the way. The old stuff, that wasn't econbomically to keep manufacturing them in Sweden, France, Germany and the US was all sent to be manufature dby China. The Chinese invaded this amrket and still sell the old stuff by the truck load. Now is time for Siemens, Ericsson, Alcatel, NEC, Lucent and Nortel have to get out of the old stuff. How would they do? Consolidation was the logical solution I thought. But judging by the BT deal they want to kick start the junking of the old stuff at once. It will be nice to watch.
