Once Upon a Time
So there you are at a social or business event. You are in line for appetizers (bet you can’t wait to get to those spicy wings) and you strike up a conversation with the person next to you in line. You introduce yourselves, shake hands, and quickly the question, “What do you do for a living” is asked.” It’s the moment of truth!Ordinarily one’s response is a generic, dull, uninspired, noun stating, “what you are” instead of “what you do.” It is as if one were to say, “I sell a commodity” or even worse, “I AM a co

Understand the impact of your technology buying decisions. One just may effect the other. Go DSL, possibly loose VoIP. Switch to an RBOC competitor and quite possibly loose your existing DSL (or ANY DSL for that matter)

This alone would result in flow of profits for the firm.Capital Budgeting involves the employment of capital funds in the activities of the firm on a long-term basis.

Why is the regional bell operating companies dropping the rates on their DSL residential service? Easy, to gain more customers. Ok, makes sense. But let's look a little closer.

First off, VoIP is making a major push into our homes. I for one have 2 lines in my home. One for business and one for home use. I use VoIP on my business line and my local provider on the other. I also use cable broadband access. Not only is it faster, but when the time comes I can switch my home phone to VoIP and not effect my broadband connection. Yes, the government is mandating the use of 'naked' DSL or DSL without phone service. Expect that in a few years (maybe).

There's the first gotcha. Choose the local telco for DSL access and eliminate the possibility of using VoIP as your primary phone line. Yes you can get VoIP as long as you continue your local telephone service as well. Remember, DSL comes into your home on your phone line. Deactivate your phone line and without naked DSL you disconnect your internet as well.

Remember deregulation of the 80's? Now the RBOC's (regional bell operating companies) need to open their territories up to competition. Ok. I was putting together a quote for local/long distance for a small business. Luckily they had no need or want for internet access. I ran the numbers for both our local RBOC as well as a competitor. The competitors’ prices beat the RBOC's hands down. But guess what? The competitor is unable to run DSL (even if my customer wanted it). Gotcha again. RBOC's carry a mighty sword :)

So, if I stick with my RBOC, I can't use VoIP as my primary phone service. If I switch to a competitor, I may not be able to get DSL access. Hmmmm conflict or gotcha?

In all fairness, I've sold DSL service from RBOC's as well as other ISP's. The service is fine. Many of my family members use DSL and are very happy with it. It's really not the DSL service itself that gets me frustrated at times, but rather the lack of choices. Why not use the lower cost DSL access and VoIP as a primary phone line? Because the large RBOC's don't want you to, that's why. Oh sure the government is getting involved, but we'll have to wait a few more years. (Maybe longer)

This short article is not intended solely for the informed. Many people are aware of the conflicts, FCC mandates and issues. The lines between phone usage/internet access/television are becoming more and more blurred. Keep a open mind; don't fall into the marketing traps of the major players.

Homeownership Can Boost Your Approval Rate!
The reasons for this can be explained analyzing the effects that homeownership has on the loan terms and requirements for approval. There is a variable that is greatly modified by homeownership which has important incidences on all loan terms and requirements: the risk of default for the lender in the financial transaction. Risk Of Default And Approval The approval process is ruled by the lenders fear of default: The higher the risk of default, the lower the chances of getting approved. In the event o

Using an Autoresponder or Reply Email Automator - (Which is Best for Me?)
Autoresponders have made our life so much easier as webmasters and business owners, they reply to emails for us sent to a specific email address to get or give a specific response, like sending clients to a download page, a thankyou for subscribing to our newsletter page or a series of preloaded emails for an eCourse we have developed.If, like me, you have ever tried to save time and setup an autoresponder to answer your clients daily questions, you, no doubt found it clumsy and hard to operate. Remember the multi

How to be Known
Why business relationships are formed with certain people?If you go to a networking meeting and look around the room, can you tell which individuals you would like to converse with? It is likely you will gravitate towards those that are engaged in conversations and have an enthusiasm about them. If you see people sitting around looking like wall flowers, you will not be as likely to find out more about them. You cannot afford to waste your time at the meeting, you need to be that enthusiastic person and educate tho

Go for cable internet access? I for one would really like to see the cable companies begin to drop their rates. They offer a good service at faster speeds. Unfortunately with the push for DSL (from come on offers starting at around $17 per month) to standard monthly rates around $21-30 per month, it's certainly cheaper than cable internet, which is about $42-47 per month.

What I usually tell my customers is to look at the big picture. Not long ago customers wanted high speed internet at the lowest possible cost. Now what I usually tell my customers, friends and family is to also evaluate their phone usage as well.

One purchase can affect the other. If there is no pressure or need or want to convert to VoIP, then broadband DSL should be just fine. Then there's the people with teenage kids or kids in college. Their phone bills tend to be higher. In some cases the cost may be much higher. If VoIP is going to be on their horizon, then I would recommend staying away from DSL. Do the math. Yes, you may pay a higher per month cost for cable internet service (say $20 a month more) but what would you save on your phone bill by using VoIP? If your phone bill is $40 a month, which you cut to $20 a month using VoIP, it's a wash. The extra savings on the phone bill offsets the higher cost of internet access. If your phone bill is higher, then you start to save more money.

Look at the big picture when deciding your broadband access needs.
