Funny thing you should mention B-ISDN.
Another group of people who thought that because a major standards
organization wrote specs, and a whole bunch of manufacturers poured a ton
of money into building the gear, it would necessarily take over the world.
I don't know about the world, but it's certainly taken over the nation.
Everytime someone comes up and says "but just look at how ISDN failed", I
go "Huh?! That's a strange way of spelling "was wildly successful"!
Just because *you* still use stone-age technology ...
