Bandwidth Boom to Bust Flat Rate Net Interested in your view of the article at news.com predicting that flat-rate net access will soon end. Especially interested since WCOM seems to be voicing this concern.

George In your December issue you write, "Extending this insight in a NEW paper, Christensen..." Where can I find this paper? Maybe you can put in a link to his papers on your website. A little something to accompany that link to the on-line dictionary would jazz up your web site a bit. Not that those candid snapshots of you on the front page aren't drawing hordes of teenage girls.... Hungry for more Christensen insights, Cameron Smith

George: Your name always shows up as an expert in the industry who seems to understand emerging technologies and has a clear vision how these technologies apply into the fast approaching "high speed online" future! Could we request for your help as well? I and many other investors are highly invested in a company called Osicom that has been shipping Metro-DWDM products for few months now. After selling and installing their M-DWDM solution at Texas Utilities and MediaOne, Belgiam Telecom, and other smaller players, Osicom has now signed a deal in China as well. At the same time, Osicom management says that there are 77 other evaluaters (from US, Europe, and China) who are looking into their Metro-DWDM solution called GigaMux and their newly proposed Photonic based broadband networking architecture called Dense Wave Division Networking (DWDN) - providing Transport of IP over DWDM. GigaMux: osicom.com DWDN: osicom.com I and other investors of Osicom would appreciate a fair word on DWDM technologies and solutions from Osicom and others. We value your judgement and experties in this industry!
