Prediction: Fairpoint bankruptcy issues (billing credits and disputes) will cause major troubles for several CLECs, perhaps even kill some.
pro tip: check electrical outlet in customer's basement for light switch operation, if network equipment needs to run in morning. Doh!
desperate measures: updating WinXP POS via Internet sharing from Mac laptop ethernet, via USB tethered iPhone to 3G network.
Fairpoint - anatomy of a failure - http://www.timesargus.com/article... -- decent summary of the history.

@austonianb Sad. I don't think FP execs understand how important the OSS problem is. Prob need to spend $50m to replace the current crap.
@austonianb They were obviously on some sort of drugs. Even if FP ends up with zero debt, not fixing the OSS and ops problem will kill them
FairPoint bankruptcy no surprise - http://www.examiner.com/x-2978-... - FP must fix computer systems for ops and orders or they have no future or hope

@sfoak @zhaol ok, but what if you are a coffee shop? (only half serious. I am improving security for a coffee shop client as I type).
Omg. I am going to end up screaming like Sam Kineson all day.
