- Re: PAT's request for what we think telephony will be future will be
- like in 2000 or maybe even 2100. I'd like to post my $.02.
-
- I think that we will see a much larger proliferation of the cell phone
- industry; e-mail directly via satellites as opposed to wire and
- satellites today; the physical size of the hardware in each switch
- will shrink.
-
- Who really can imagine what our children and grandchildren will
- witness? I can't but I'd sure like to be around to see what happens.
-
- As I said, just my $0.02.
