Should Carriers Fear Open Source?

,----[ Quote ]
| Think big telecom carriers don't use open source? Think again.
|
| While telecommunications may appear dominated by proprietary solutions, BT,
| the industry giant formerly known as British Telecom, is a big supporter of
| open source. And its experiences might serve as an guide for how other
| industries might make use of the trend in software development.
|
| Not only does the multibillion dollar British carrier consume open source, it
| is also a contributor and evangelist, according to Maria Pardee, president of
| global integration for BT Design.
