I think Infrastructure2.0 has room for plenty of vendor and practice innovation. Thx for the comment. Greg Greg:

However I would add companies need to take a good hard look at the file sizes they are using, and the effect this has on the network and storage. For example, do mobile workers really need to send 10 MB powerpoint presentations using HSPA or EVDO service? If it's mission-critical, the answer is yes, but if you are using the network to send mission-critical information, often straight text is sufficient. These are all good points.
