Today's focus: Choose outsourcers wisely

By Jeff Caruso

Choose outsourcers wisely

Outsourcing IT operations is a tempting way to cut costs. But
not all outsourcing companies are created equal, warns Jeff
Kaplan in this week's Strategy Session. Many opportunistic firms
seem to be putting forth questionable business plans in an
attempt to get a piece of the outsourcing pie.

Ebbers' punishment fits the crime

According to reports, Bernie Ebbers wept as he was sentenced to
25 years in prison. And while that may seem like a harsh
punishment, it was just, Johna Till Johnson argues this week.

FCC's outlook a little too rosy

services"? Scott Bradner says the FCC's definitions probably
differ substantially from yours - and so its findings on
Internet access may be more than a bit misleading.

Grokster decision reverberates

While some may be tempted to shrug off the Supreme Court's
verdict in MGM vs. Grokster, Mark Gibbs is not. This week he
takes a look at the possible "chilling effect."
