Any way, thanks for the succinct heads up on the volume doubling in '09 and '10.

Hopefully the quality and understanding of data streams and their value in assisting us to be genuinely human and technically adept simultaneously.

The long living (tens of thousands of years) indigenous cultures of the world were adept in these fields also, and had wireless communication technology rather finely tuned in a manner that appeared to allow nature/science/physics to be the arbiter of the scales of use employed by natural persons and their tools.

Let's hope these new tools serve a greater good and balance, lest our civilizations become so top heavy with machinery and convenience, that the costs of our errors or ommissions, prove to be a liability to great to sustain. Human heart and mind dream the work of hands and brains, and humble kindness and consideration have yet to prevail.

Peace..........the germs and electrons are in charge.

Cheers.

I trust the industry is appropriately grateful to the commercial lobbyists for their success in obfuscating the fundamental issues and dazzling the global public with convenience and trinkets.

Good for the groups and companies that are working on quality, constitutional principles, value in the volume management, reliability, accountability, and fiduciary issues as well as convenience on line.

As a consumer, being well aware of the data-stream glut, it seems reasosnable for verifiable and accountable fiduciaries to assist consumers/customers/clients take of care of their business, paging through an inane series of "security" related data entries and finishing off with the dog and movie questions is just sad.

AT&T and other firms know us, we are the same just people, whose phone calls have always been full of the names of our favourites and what we care about.

I think I'll consider starting a data-care business, from what I can see, people are more interested in their shiny little machines than in each other, and a capable robot is a more reliable device than a fallable person, hmmm, who's making who?.......Are we machining or being machined........Better ask the person who is an expert in CAD software...
The shiny little machines are interested in us, and they seem to care more , what we watch, when we turn our lights on and off, soon EBMUD will track the flushing of toilets, laundry use, and bathing,
they actually seem to care, as long as we have electricity and charged batteries.........

Take care of the air-waves please.

Apparently, this might also streamline the on-line traffic, and conserve space for data that is more useful and productive to exchange. By the time I got to the favourite movie and first dog questions, I had had it. Grotesquely time consuming, for any one with a multi-task schedule.

I clicked off of AT&T's on-line account registry. I have no problem with a highly demanding privacy and security protocol with appropriate rigorous requirements regarding value and services relating to value, whether it's cash, time or safety.

I just cancelled an on-line registration process with AT&T due to the cumbersome and in my opinion insecure (masquerading as complex verifications).

In principle
