HAHA! Good joke!

That was true some 30 years ago...

Actually, I think the problem is quite different. Big telco's network is =
a very complex thing - well, you all can say, Internet is too...
But if we see some "similar" business like aircraft-defense and =
professional video market, we see some similarities: there are a lot of =
tricks and "non-documented standards" that make those software a kind of =
mistery for foreigners. Put in other words, software knowledge is not =
enough, you must have a deep understanding of that business and the =
history of the system itself...

in my miniscule experience, they have large masses of engineers with =
unrequited NIH and roll their own as much as possible.  after all, who =
could make something suitable for their oh so special needs.
