I spent the day at the briefing center at SBC Labs in Austin, Texas. The agenda included the current state of the Sutter network, SBC's view of the future Sutter network, an overview and tour of SBC labs, optical and wireless technology and a roundtable for next steps. The one conclusion that I have come to that was somewhat unrelated to the main agenda is that we should be running fiber in our new hospitals was far as we can... Fiber to the desktop?

I had a very uneventful trip back. While my previous two trips on AmericaWest had resulted in some adventures, this one went like clockwork and I was home asleep in my own bed with a blonde shortly after 10 p.m.

I posted Heringer's in the Philippines, Day 3.
