Herein you see the essence of the culture clash between ISPers and
Telco-ites...
The telco world has ALWAYS moved very slowly. But even before
""The Internet"" hit the front pages, they were getting dragged
kicking and screaming into a rapidly changing world:
T-carrier was out, OC-192 in.
Crossbar is passe, CLASS is now daily bread...
and so forth...
They don't adjust well. They'd really rather just hand more Elpath
rather than this glass stuff.
And now those damn Netnerds have invented Warp drive; while Ma is
still adjusting to those damn jet aeroplanes.... It just ain't fair.
Who is right? That depends...
