One of the interesting problems is how big these machines are, thus, how
challenging the are to understand. There are very few people who can
draw out a complete telecoms network, showing how it all works,
including out to the CPE (be it a phone or a computer), across to
whatever peering "server" the CPE might be engaged in communications
with. There are even fewer people who understand the economics of such
things.
