Good Enough for Government

Over at IPCentral, my friend Jim Delong has already written about the conundrums presented in California Performance Review with respect to open source software. What he didn't mention is the Governator's interest in VoIP. Yep, the CPR recommends moving the state's telephone systems over to VoIP to save an estimated $20 to $75 million a year. I hope the folks in Sacramento are paying attention to the CaPUC's activity over in San Francisco...as soon as the regulators get their hands on VoIP services you can count on those savings to evaporate.
