re: Alcatel, Microsoft and AT&T

I spoke with a friend of mine who is planning to start consulting for this joint venture on Monday. He stated this was a 10 year project. He also said that they are planning to roll out 10 cities with IPTV. These cities would be totally run on Microsoft software (which I find unusual for a "telecom" deployment).

at least for these cities, Microsoft is flipping the bill to ensure their software is used. But who knows what will happen in other cities - if they use Alcatel's software.
