Talk, talk, Talk or is that communication

OK, I'm harping again but how many companies have IT staff doing the telecom for the company. A few very validate points: 1) IT is not telecom, even if the telephone is a computer. 2) IT is fantastic for programming, solving computer problems, solving network issues, 3) doing IT stuff and a whole lot more. IT is NOT telecom. In fact I'm not sure all telecom people know marketing, R & D, analysis of applications, impact of goofy problems with telephones, operation of such a device, how cables can conflict between heat/air ducts, electrical conduct, and a world of project management with new construction. Communication that simple speaking and listening skill can add so much value when problem solving. Telecommunication is a strata technology mecca. Do not leave your firms telecommunication to chance.
