In this episode, Dave Train, Paul Whalen and Trevor Hindson discuss the recent election result and the how the shift in power may change the decisions and processes affecting the telecom industry. Senator Ted Stevens cropped up again as did net neutrality and Senator Kennedy's views. In international news the Telstra share offer T3 was discussed along with their ADSL2+ roll out. Of course we had to mention that Britney Spears allegedly dumped K-Fed using a text message. There have been rumors of a Sprint Nextel purchase and it appears that the recent analysts agree with Dave on this one. Other news includes a new version of Skype rolling out and announcements of the Internet Telephony magazine's VoIP awards for 2006.  We also discovered this week that our podcasts are going to be mentioned in an upcoming IEEE Spectrum magazine. The following are some links mentioned in the podcast.
