			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the arcane arts of telco is cable lacing with wax string.  I&#8217;ve been given a crash course by Juston, and I managed to demonstrate on some test cables and ties that the CEO hasn&#8217;t lost his knack.</p>
<p>Here are a couple examples of some simple cable lacing used to manage a set of large cables.  Yup, I tied these myself.  The third image is a cable end itself, with an AMP Champ tool and the connector just after termination.</p>
<p>Check out Wikipedia&#8217;s <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_lacing">cable lacing article</a> out for more infomation.  For additional info, tools and supplies (you can do this at home!), see <a href="http://www.tecratools.com/pages/tecalert/cable_lacing.html">Tecra Tools</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://corp.sonic.net/ceo/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/fusion-logo.gif" alt="" title="fusion-logo" width="100" height="100" class="alignright size-full wp-image-311"><br />
A <a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gdmC4QL0gqIxS2sopb2IU9Y0DBgQD954I7800">recent survey</a> confirms what <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incumbent_local_exchange_carrier" title="Incumbent local exchange carrier" rel="wikipedia" class="zem_slink">ILEC</a> investor calls and SEC filings have shown for some time.  Consumers are moving away from land lines in favor of mobile phone products.</p>
<p>Eighteen percent of homes have no land lines, and another thirteen percent have land lines but rarely if ever use them.  In total, this means that 30% of users don&#8217;t have or don&#8217;t want an old fashioned &#8220;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_old_telephone_service" title="Plain old telephone service" rel="wikipedia" class="zem_slink">plain old telephone service</a>&#8221; (POTS) line.</p>
<p>Currently however, Sonic.net&#8217;s legacy AT&amp;T delivered DSL services require land line voice service as prerequisite.  While this could be very limited measured rate service, it generally means a hidden cost of between fifteen and twenty five dollars.</p>
<p>One of the reasons that I&#8217;m excited about our new <a href="http://www.sonic.net/sales/fusion/broadband/">Fusion</a> products is that they are available standalone.  If you want land line voice, we will be offering that early next year, but &#8220;dry&#8221; service (no voice) will always be available too!  </p>
<p>This lets customers purchase only the service they want, without the voice requirement that our legacy AT&amp;T DSL products come with today.</p>
