It's not MS hiring the software people, it's the upstart bandwidth people hiring the HW techies. (Companies like Quest, Frontier Communications, Worldcom, Sprint, GST/ICON) You know, it would have been kind of cool for the seattle T1 to be provided by frontier.
BTW, here's an excerpt from the @Home Acceptable Use Policy, the only people who provide truly broadband service to the Seattle Area.
The @Home residential service offering is designed for your personal use of the Internet. You may not use the @Home residential service for commercial purposes. You may not run a server in connection with the @Home residential service, nor may you provide network services to others via the @Home residential service. Examples of prohibited programs include, but are not limited to, mail, http, ftp, irc, dhcp servers, and multi-user interactive forums.
As I see it, this would prohibit most of the reasons that I want a 24/7 net connection.
