arstechnica.com — what AT&T is doing today is not your grandfather's R&D, and neither is the work coming out of Google's labs, or Microsoft's. AT&T is working in the areas of voice recognition, network traffic analysis and shaping, the use of graphics processing units for nongraphics DSP algorithms, data mining, information security, wireless networking, etc.

AT&T is also working on giving your personal information to the NSA.

The research labs are going offshore, just like pretty much everything else. Costs in the US are too high, companies would rather cut R&D entirely, or move it to someplace where its cheap and the local government is willing to bend over backwards to provide you will all the infrastructure and tech you need. Hong Kong, Singapore, India, etc.

Next weeks lab results are expected to help increase consumer ass-f**kage up 600%. Have those morons down in legal gotten rid of that net neutrality thinger majiggy yet?

AT&T deserved to die - they made a lot of dumb business decisions and then sold off most of their assets at a loss. Now the NEW AT&T (SBC) wants to be the Dell of telcom and provide customers with good service at low price by slashing expenses. I don't have a problem with that.
