As we move into higher data rates on the switched network,
designers and manufacturers must begin to concern themselves with
the perils of noise that is sure to come from the BOCs since the
breakup.  No longer ruled by the iron fist of "Ma", the BOC's will
do pretty much what they please.

This is evidenced by the fact that the source of my "{" data noise
problem was found - a "cheaper" version of a D4 channel group at
the back end of a T1 multiplexor; the signal is not synchronized
with the other end and digital slip occurs every 30 seconds.

And the "new" BOC says to me: "You can talk on it?  Good.  That's
where our responsibility ends."  In a few years network service
provided by the local BOC's is going to be so bad that it will
hardly be worth the money.

What about alternates?  Satellite?  Cellular radio?  Cable?
Whatever it is, the data devices have got to incorporate error
detection/correction or they will not be any good.
