Aaron Anderson: Here we are in this eight year time frame we talked about, lots of changes, going forward, are we going to see even more, are we going to see even more culture change, more business, both, and how are the leaders at Bellsouth going to react to that, maybe operational leaders with small workgroups, or strategic leaders? Do you see particular elements of leadership that are really going to have to come out?

Marty Dickens: Absolutely, I think though, as we've talked about earlier, so much of all of this is going to be driven by the way technology is exploding, the changes around us, and the demarcations between wireless and wire line, between cellular and Bellsouth, a wired company, or between satellite and cable and all those things, those lines of demarcation are melting away, and as the technology continues to change and you become more and more a seamless wireless/wire line offer, product offer, and that you get everything from your voice to your high speed data, and even your video possibly, in your home, and even your business or driving down the road in your car, it doesn't make any difference to you whether it is wired, or wireless, but the interconnection, the convergence of all this is happening nearly at lightspeed, so all that is coming about. Well, you and I as customers, we don't want to know about how it all works. Some people do, but most people don't: they want the service, they want the speed and the capacity, and they want it now, and they don't care whether it's wireless or wired. In fact, they want it to be so seamless that when they are driving down the road, they are talking on their cellphone, and when they pull in their driveway at home, it automatically picks up on a wi-fi maybe, there, and when they go in the house, they can set the phone, that wi-fi by the way, is connected back to the land line, and when they go into their home, they stick that phone in their cradle, and it's really the same number, its their wireless phone number, but its also their land line phone number, and it's no difference. Well, that's reality, and it's going to be happening more, and more available to customers as we get out there, as the technology evolves, and becomes economically available, being able to deploy it economically so customers can have it. Everybody has read a little bit about VOIP, Voice Over Internet Protocol. Well it's a reality, it's happening, there are companies out there offering that now. We offer that for certain business customer needs; the technology is just around the corner that will . . . that will explode all over the place, and what will happen is our network, the Bellsouth type network, has to be a network that is both for voice and data and internet access, and long distance access and every other kind of access that you could want so you and I as consumers in our homes and our businesses and the other entities that provide certain services, certain types of communication services, they will want to use this network because this network is so robust and so seamless between wired and wireless that this is the best one to use. So that's the challenge, it kind of goes back to the statement earlier, the fact that we can never move away from the fact that we don't ever say “we've arrived”. We have never arrived, we are always moving toward what is the best.

Aaron Anderson: These work groups I guess that have had wired line in their blood, in their history are going to be coming together with those that have wireless although as young as they seem with respect to the wire line folks, it may be computer data type people, you see all these different individuals merging their skills, and workgroups changing I guess from that standpoint.

Marty Dickens: Well and voice, while it will always be an important element of our communications, where we as humans communicate with voice. You know at the time the act was signed into law, only about 10% of the traffic that travels over the network was data related. Today it is in excess of 70% that is data related, you think about email or internet access, that sort of thing. Predictions would say that in a relatively few short years, it is going to be in excess of 90% data related. Now voice doesn't decline, by the way, it doesn't mean people stop talking, it's just that the mushroom explosion of data related transmissions doesn't stop; voice just kind of clicks along, grows just a little bit, or stays pretty steady, and it will get to the point, and it is quickly getting there, that it is really the voice flea riding on the data elephant's back, so that is just one aspect of how it all has to change, become seamless to you and I as users, all these technologies converge, and a company like Bellsouth has to ensure that its network can handle it all, do it all, and both consumers and providers of those services, those other types of services, whether its internet related services . . . want to use our network as the access or the transport. So, that's the challenge it will stay there, and we have to be agile, and smart and committed to making sure that happens.
