I second the notion that many entitiesare completely dependent on their networks. This is no easy task, since applications and hardware must be intermittentlyupgraded. IS people need to be integrators. We are adding Citrix WinFrame, SAP, MicrosoftMail and other key applications to our networked environment.

Most consultants are installersas opposed to integrators.
Quite a disappointment. Allof the prime real estate is gone. So many competing applications have beenfiled for the remaining territories that the FCC has declared a moratoriumon granting more licenses and is considering moving to auctions. The problemof finding additional spectrum for wireless fiber-type applications hasnothing to do with technology. It is all a matter of regulation.
