Hi Susan I have enjoyed reading your blog today. So much so that i have mentioned it to a couple of friends http://www.rybinski.eu/?page_id=101&language=en and added your blog to thoughts on telco news in general : page vii about post # 19 http://messages.finance.yahoo.com/Stocks_%28A_to_Z%29/Stocks_N/threadview?m=te&bn=36020&tid=689&mid=689&tof=1&frt=2#689 yes ... i have been following the telco industry for about 3 yrs now 3 trillion dollar business ... my vision of the future is "It is apparent that the decades immediately ahead will see the integration of telephone, television, and computer technologies into a single, unified system of communication and information, whose inexpensive appliances will be available on a mass scale." it is closely linked with the idea of "It would be difficult to exaggerate the psychological and social impact of the anticipated replacement of the jumble of existing monetary systems--for many, the ultimate fortress of nationalist pride--by a single world currency operating largely through electronic impulses." http://info.bahai.org/article-1-7-3-1.html something to think about ... yes ? sometimes i write on http://www.investorsiraq.com/ https://www.kitcomm.com/index.php the pm crowd hates me cuz i support iraqi dinar being new world currency {maybe 30 yrs out) iraqi dinar holders hate me because i want to do away with the usd o well ... what is man suppossed to do anyway *smile* anyway ... you asked Do all "independent" VoIP products escape this cloud? I hope so "Voip Payment Services will change and revolutionize the way wholesale minutes are bought and sold, much in the way the internet changed the way stocks are now bought and sold online rather than manually going through a stock broker." *smile* oneness dh
