The server market is simple compared to the telcom market. There is little evidence that McNealy understood the latter, I doubt he understands telecom any better.
Interesting how the guy who formerly thought proprietary Solaris was the answer now thinks OSS is. Bet he still thinks it is Solaris.

Got it backwards Scott
What needs to happen is for the Telcos to have their oligopoly broken. I do not want a Telco as my ISP, never mind as a destination site. Their incompetence and greed is why the U.S. is now a technology backwater in the broadband landscape.
In case anyone had not noticed, the economy is suffering as the ILECs wallow in their FCC sanctioned mire. It's time to put a stop to this fraud and let us choose ISPs with some enterprising spirit instead of a bunch of dullards who want to continue to dole out their dreary old "message units" for extortionate prices... and project the same model on to Internet provisioning.
PLEASE... somebody waken up!
