    I write this blog. It does not represent anyone else's opinions or perspectives. Regardless of employers or clients or any other associations, this is my blog and it does not speak for anyone else. I have learned that perception is more powerful than reality. So, we get to experience the joys of claiming and disclaiming. Isn't that super!

I commented, “QoS is simply not guaranteed via the Internet. Thus, voice and fax services cannot work perfectly, due to packet loss. Even inside organizations that manage end-to-end wires, QoS is not always a guarantee. Throw in wireless, and you ARE guaranteed to add variables for more dropped packets. But, don’t mind me, I’m sticking to the fax. ;)

…and I’m glad you’re reading!
