The Internet world is just beginning, and today its reach seems limitless. It is almost certain that Alexander Graham Bell, even in his grandest vision, could not have imagined what breadth and impact the telecommunications world would have in just one century. The pace of advancement today is incredibly rapid, and what has taken 10 years to develop in this decade will take five or less in the next and probably two or less the decade after that. What lies ahead is truly incredible, and the opportunities are endless when we are armed with the right vision and strategy.
