OT - Barge - thanks, you're being too kind IMO.

My background is in telco ... I know first hand there is absolute panic among the common carriers as services - both enterprise and consumer - undergo a paradigm shift brought by the IP-centric network. There is a tremendous drive to "get there" before the cable co's scooop up the market.

Competition for the services enabled by IP - like IPTV - is driving infrastructure and innovation like nothing else since the advent of digital switching. Let's hope that trusted transactions are ready for primetime.

Growth projection will be from 1.9 million subscribers in 2004 to 25.3 million in 2008 ... The report also forecasts IP TV subscriber revenue growth from $635 million in 2004 to $7.2 billion in 2008, also broken down on regional and service-provider levels.
