No. That's not what the bet is about. Sorry.
The bet was if I could stop the various SPEWS threads.
But I am actually curious about this. Because, you see, genuity, as I
understand it, restored "phone" service to lower manhattan post 9/11
through voice over ip. And I was just wondering how they would fix a
shafu with the internet if the only phone service was Voice over IP. And
that got me thinking about this whole convergence, you know, when we all
migrate to a packet switched network and the telcos are all bankrupt.
And I wondered if anyone else needs/hates the phone the way I do.
That's all.
I think I stopped the spews thread.
Thanks for your support.
