Yeah, I saw this article earlier today but didn't feel it needed to be posted. The folks that wrote the article are ill informed about the costs that will be saved via integration. They look only at the visible costs saved but fail to evaluate the reduce costs assiciated with a simpified network and reduced management. They also fail to discuss the costs saved by the carriers by putting more users over existing phyical (twisted pair/fiber) infrastructure. Not sure what these folks's end goal is...but not a very well researched "piece of work". Gary
