"No Cars Please"!
I believe Telcomine should provide me more information about telecommunication
industry like new technology, source of information on new technology and
deployment of new technology. I do not think that items like "Car and Chip
Makers Join To Make 21st Century Driverless Car" should have a place in
Telcomine. - Amar Kumar, India
A driverless car on the road is inconceivable without a distinct component of
sophisticated telecom technology. Telcomine and its readers cannot be
indifferent to the fascinating intermingling of Internet and Information
highway technologies in the software world. - Editor
We are a system integrator and a Cisco Silver partner. More and more customers
are asking about IP Telephony and I would like to get more knowledge of this
from the marketing and technical point. - Harold Chan, Hong Kong
This is a good site. Thanks very much. - Arumugham Sudalaimuthu
