Convergence Is Not News Anymore
OK, so Sprint has started replacing some of its circuit-switched local loops with newer packet-switching technology, like that used on the Internet. Sprint Begins Converting Network [InformationWeek]. But convergence between telecom and the Internet has been a reality for years. I've been representing clients and speaking on that topic since at least 1996. So there's nothing new here at all. Maybe a little in scale, but hardly a newsworthy event. Reveals the power of the Press Release, apparently.
