Too Late to Click Undo, Mailing List Etiquette

Mailing list etiquette says when you wish to start a new topic on a mailing discussion list, feel free to click "Reply," check the "To" to make sure it is correct, get rid of the previous digest of unrelated messages, change the subject line as needed, and proceed. I send a big thank you to "Nice Guy on  Asterisk-Biz List" for reminding me. Slow down ...

Nice Guy on Asterisk-Biz List, you are right. I changed the subject line but forgot to delete the digest below before clicking "send." I appreciate the reminder of good list etiquette. Wish I could do "undo."

Thank you,

Please don't reply to the digest if you want to post to the list.. It makes a larger than necessary posting in everyone's email box.
Thanks,

Quick note to Asterisk-Biz list ...
http://www.didx.net/ wholesale phone number marketplace where vendor rating is 0-8 with 8 as highest and 4 and above as good:

Vendor 700328 offers Auckland, New Zealand DID phone numbers .99 USD (99 cents) per month, zero NRC. Vendor rating is 5. 5,000 minutes and 1 channel is included.

Vendor 705156 offers MX City, Monterrey, and Guadalajara DID phone numbers $3 USD per month, $2 NRC. Vendor rating is 8. 10,000 minutes and 2 channels are included.

We are able to keep these good rates especially when the volume of sales is right, so we hope you'll take advantage.

Complete list of DID areas available are at http://www.didx.net/did showing the lowest rates available. Please keep in mind that most of the DIDs have more than one vendor and therefore, more than one NRC, MRC, features available such as caller id, sms, fax t38, and so on; number of minutes included, channels included, and chance to buy or not buy additional channels.

Also this is a blog post that is a combination of tips shared by successful DIDX buyers with me: http://blogs.didx.net/2009/11/model-of-didx-wholesale-sip-did.html. Wishing the best for your and your customers this year.

How to Get 24/7 WiFi No Matter Where You are on iPod Touch, asks Husband

My social network on Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin and other offline and online groups are full of mobile experts, so ... my husband is asking: "FB universe, especially those with iPod Touch players...I love the apps I can download, WiFi capability, etc. But it's a bummer in an area where free WiFi network doesn't exist or is impossible to connect. Anyone know of a WiFi "card" which could plug into the input at the bottom? Please don't tell me to purchase an iPhone, I'm not ready to part with my cell provider...yet."

What do you think of FCC's National Broadband Plan?

Sending my thanks to TMCnet for interviewing me on FCC's new broadband plan at http://www.tmcnet.com/channels/did-ddi/articles/78779-didxchange-broadband-plan-packs-potential-communications-market.htm.

How would you answer the same questions?

TMCnet Editor Stefania Viscusi: “What do you think of the FCC’s national broadband plan?”

Suzanne Bowen: Remember, I'm an ex-English teacher turned small business owner, so I have a different view than most who might have spent their whole career in telecommunications, engineering, and/or business in general.

Isn't this a 376 page preliminary report, like a first draft of a framework, so what we read today will change tomorrow? And what's wrong with that as long as progress is made? For the people, you and me and them. I see a potential for new kinds of jobs to replace the old and obsolete, more opportunities for more education for those who need it, and even better ... more collaborative education, improved public safety networks, narrowed gap between the 'haves' and the 'have nots,' and because of this, the empowerment of entrepreneurs with the tools needed to start businesses that put the unemployed back to work.

TMCnet Editor Stefania Viscusi: “How do you expect this plan to affect your markets?”

Suzanne Bowen: Our market is in every corner of Earth, wherever any one has a softswitch and an empowering and practical entrepreneurial idea for business. The plan would be a step in the right direction for that type of individual or organization who wants to leverage direct inward dialing and call forward management with other services and products. In turn, it pushes the future-thinking (previously traditional) telecoms who are major suppliers of DID on DIDX, to expand their Internet and wireless services, products and devices and to change the paradigm of expected main streams of revenue.

TMCnet Editor Stefania Viscusi:: “Any other thoughts on what this new plan means for the future of communications””

Suzanne Bowen: It's a bit lofty and dreamy for me to say, but here we go: Innovation might get new opportunities to come out of hiding in the minds of the most unobvious locations and types of people.
