So what is going on today?
Well according to Randall Stephenson of SBC 4 Billion Dollars is chump change. Look at this excert by Leslie Cauley of USA Today.

SAN ANTONIO — Sitting in his office, Randall Stephenson, the point man on SBC Communications' Internet TV project, is a picture of confidence.
But pressed on the question of whether SBC has made the right choice in betting on "IPTV" — short for Internet Protocol TV — a cool but largely unproven technology, the 6-foot-4-inch Oklahoman blanches.
"If I bet wrong, I didn't break the future of this business," counters Stephenson, who is also SBC's chief operating officer. "For a company of this size, $4 billion is very little money. If I bet wrong, it's not much money for us to burn.""
Now how the heck does that grab you? With that type of attitude I think companies like Packet8, iConnectHere and Lingo will do quite well in the broadband phone services market. As long as SBC is just throwing away money sooner or later the smarter providers are going to do real damage.
Next up this week we see Trinsic seems to be mending its losses even though they have backed off on VoIP a bit. You can read that here on The Digest. As a telecom agent I have a lot of Ztell / Trinsic Residential Home Phone Service customers and don't want to loose that income.
One of the best VoIP Sites online today Broad Band Phone Services has started up a VoIP Articles Section. Looks like a great new resource.
That is all for today,
