Friday Humor: When "Free" Isn't
February 27, 2009 @ 11:23 AM | By Anthony O'Donnell
As the national debt self-indulgence hangover throbs on, any remaining voices crying, "No Money Down!", "Buy Now Pay Later" or "First Six Months Free!" are increasingly greeted with scorn and resentment.

Green Issues: An Obituary
February 25, 2009 @ 12:22 PM | By Nathan Conz

February 23, 2009 @ 11:51 AM | By Anthony O'Donnell
The notion that carriers will be spending liberally in 2009 is borne out by carriers' late 2008 budget projections, and subsequent research on their current activity.

Best of Times: Agent Real-Time Functionality
February 10, 2009 @ 11:32 AM | By Anthony O'Donnell
This represents success on the part of carrier IT organizations from a technical standpoint, and on the part of the carriers generally in terms of their relationships with their independent distributors. It also represents a threat to carriers who are yet to provide real-time functionality to their agents, but that will push further penetration of the related technologies through the carrier community.
