When the US Transportation Security Administration (aka, the agency in charge of airport screeners) is paying their computer security people more than telephone companies, its hard for phone companies to attact top security talent. Customers need to let companies know that security and responsiveness affects their purchasing decisions. I think some companies are getting the message. But in today's market, with tight budgets and layoffs, security is often viewed as overhead. A lot of providers are lucky if they have one network engineer who does security stuff in her spare time. Full-fledge security departments are rare. On Mon, 25 Mar 2002, Eric Whitehill wrote:UUNet, by far is the best. I've had mixed results withSprint.
