With thanks, privateline.com reader Mark Jonson e-mails this kind and thoughtful message:
"I've been reading your notes on telecommunications and wireless for several years. Now having a job in the cellular industry I've found the information you provide on this website seems to be more accurate and detailed than almost any other source I've encountered on the Internet. I'd consider it a must-read for anybody working in this field.
However, I'm e-mailing you today because I just read the IEEE Interview of Joel Engel posted March 7. You give a link to it below. Among Engel's comments, I found his prediction in which he stated "[i]t won’t surprise me if one of the Bell companies merges with AT&T" almost prophetic considering this interview appears to have taken place in 2001. This is clearly an indication of someone who has not only worked in telecommunications for many years, but also understands how the industry works from a greater perspective than most people realize. As he said in the following paragraph, we need to be able to "step back and see the big picture." After reading this interview I felt his prediction should not go unnoticed. I definitely look forward to more of your postings in the future.
Thanks,
Mark
