stak, re: Intel Phone Co. I'm not sure why you would write this, I mean the amateur advice thing, but, from the excellent post I read Re:post 58301 you can definitely put a word or two together. Thank you for the kind complement. I say "amateur" as the opposite of "pro"; I simply do not work for Intel. IF Intel gets a good strategy into its collective brain it has demonstrate that it has few equals at execution. You mention that you're repeating your appeal, so it must be on your mind a bit. I for one would be glad to hear more I don't have that much more. It is an idea that occured to me a few years ago that refuses to go away. Still seems like the right think for Intel to do. I can think of a dozen benefits and zero down side. Here are a few points: - Great publicity It would create a public demonstration for "constantly connected" - Great practice for Intel (using this as a development prototype) - Great market test. Can this make money? Is there customer value? - Fits with Intel's skills. It could apply its networking skills while learning more about the public switch business. - Should motivate the Bellcos as an example and potential threat. By keeping the effort small (small for Intel), Intel can influence the phone companies without alienating them. This also will make sure that underfunding isn't an issue. Jeff
