I read articles like this and this and it makes me crazy that I am not doing more with what I know about telecom and the internet. I have worked on the very opposite side of where you are right now, way past this web page and the ISP you subscribe to, through all the routers and networks, the data centers – all the way back to the engineers who develop and drive the web as you see it happening. Nearly every Tuesday for the past eight years, I’ve sat on calls with a former Lucent engineer-turned-start-up-CEO-turned-acquired-CEO and learned about what was next for the IP and telecom networks, and more importantly, how it’s all going to work.

AT&T Homezone Touts Broadband, Satellite TV
It might only be available in Ohio and San Antonio right now, but you can bet AT&T more markets are going to come online: today AT&T began marketing Homezone, a new service which combined high-speed Internet access and satellite television in one set-top box.
The new AT&T Homezone service combines Yahoo High Speed Internet with DISH Network satellite television service in a single set-top box which combines DVR functionality, movies-on-demand, photo- and music-sharing, and offers remote Web-based access to the system so users on the go can set their DVR to record a program without having to grab the remote.

AT&T To Offer Vongo Online Movies
AT&T announced today that it’s teaming up with online movie provider Vongo, the movie delivery service from Starz.
Vongo went live earlier this year and offers Windows users broadband access to over 1,500 movies and a streaming Starz TV channel for $9.99 a month, as well as selected pay-per-view titles for $3.99. Users can transfer the selections to as many as three devices (other computers, portable players, etc.).
The new agreement with AT&T sets up a co-branded AT&T and Vongo site from which AT&T high-speed Internet customers can download the Vongo software and try the service for free for 14 days.
AT&T Adds Akimbo to High Speed Offering
AT&T and video on demand company Akimbo today announced an agreement which will offer subscribers of the AT&T Homezone TV service access to thousands of video programs and movies through “converged set-top boxesâ€. This new TV service is set to debut later this summer.
AT&T Homezone, which is currently in trial runs across several states, integrates Yahoo! co-branded high speed Internet and Dish Network programming to provide video on demand, digital video recording, and Internet content, including photos and music, to these new set-top boxes. Akimbo’s content, when added, will appear in the form of an online guide that enables AT&T Homezone subscribers to view a comprehensive listing of all available videos and movies. This guide will feature a video search function, full program descriptions and video previews.
