		<title>A Telecom Audting Eye for the 3G iPhone Guy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s face it: As it currently stands, Apple&#8217;s iPhone gets by on being a stylish status symbol as much as it does on actual features. You can&#8217;t beat Apple&#8217;s aesthetics or interface design. But behind the hype, the iPhone&#8217;s appeal has been limited by its high price and the US&#8217; chaotic business models and wireless [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cellular Expense Management Lingo</title>

One is the technology, which isn&#8217;t just driven my miniaturization and power, but by a shifting set of global standards that let us talk to each other and determine how we do it.

		<title>Telecom Expense Management for Regular Folks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At GILL Technologies, we handle large telecom expense management accounts from major corporations but our experience includes small departments and local businesses, too – and we all like to save money on our home phone bills.

We don’t want to call anyone a liar¸ so let’s just say that these are very, very naughty things to foist on the public. In most cases, carrier choice has no effect on quality of service. A lot of ads try to take credit for features that are either hardware-based or depend on the telecom infrastructure. The carrier doesn’t matter.]]></description>
