3/6/06 AT&T to pay $67 billion for BellSouth AT&T Inc. said
it will buy regional-phone company BellSouth Corp. for $67 billion in stock,
consummating a long-rumored deal that would create a gigantic communications
provider with tentacles extending deep into the phone, wireless, Internet
and even pay-TV markets. The acquisition would also give AT&T sole control
of Cingular Wireless, the nation's biggest wireless operator with more than
54 million customers. Wireless is the fastest-growing part of the
communications business and critical to the success of U.S. phone companies.
AT&T owns 60%, with BellSouth controlling the rest.

Virtual Private
Networks (VPN) 101
Written by: Patrick Oborn - Mar 8, 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the VPN market approaches maturity at a brisk pace, vendors have been
forced to rethink the tradition identity of their IP Security-based
technology for letting users securely access enterprise resources via the
Internet. Most large companies in need of linking their offices together
have done so on frame relay networks. Although frame is still a useful
product many users have found that the reduced cost of VPN gives them an
attractive alternative.
During the last 18 months, vendors have pushed VPN technology into different
devices, have lessened the distinction between VPN and firewall products,
and have demonstrated a strong willingness to deviate from standardized
technology to meet corporate remote access requirements. VPN services now
come bundled with many dedicated services and several service providers are
using VPN products as a loss leader so they can sell circuits. When
investigating the use of VPN products make sure you speak with a
professional who can guide you through the strengths as well as the
weaknesses of the product. While it is a cost reduced alternative to frame
it is a different product and should be thoroughly researched.
One of the advantages of a VPN is that internet access is not based only on
the hub and spoke layout. The users away from the hub are able to access the
internet through their own connection rather than going through the hub and
creating a bottleneck. Users will only need to connect through the hub if
they need to access information from the central database. When researching
alternatives such as VPN, like always, we recommend you consult with a
professional and not just a salesman for a VPN company. Make sure the
individual you speak with is unbiased and will give you the strengths and
weaknesses of each product. We recommend one of the brokers at T1 price for
unbiased recommendations of multiple carriers.

I have been in the telecom industry for a long time now. I started in the switched long distance market and have covered all the bases from local, bundled, cell, to dedicated. I have seen prices for long distance drop to pennies per minute. I have seen dedicated T1 lines drop from the thousands of dollars to less than $400/month in some instances.

The strong have survived and given us great rates on a wide variety of services. The services that are provided here have been used extensively by my clients and myself.
