<<<"The carriers want to give you 56 kilobits per second that looks like voice," Nacchio said. "It's not because they take stupid pills in the morning; it's because they are used to the structure of an oligopoly."

Voice will consist of less than 1 percent of network traffic by the year 2004, Nacchio said. The majority of telecommunications will be in the form of packets -- little bits of data that carry video, audio and e-mail. The bottleneck, Nacchio said, is bandwidth.>>>

He has a way with words. :))

And I'm reminded of what Peter Lynch says about his investing style. That you have to be able to draw it for him to invest in it. I believe Nacchio could do just that. Hand the guy a box of crayons!

BTW, check out Siemens's link page:

I agree. Everybody agrees. This is not a surprise.

As you well know, Joe Nacchio, just another ex-AT&T (voice guy).
