		<description><![CDATA[Throughout my career I think that the two most misunderstood functions within a telephone system are Transfer and Forward. Some consider the two the same.

		<description><![CDATA[Term: Divestiture In 1984 as a result of the antitrust trial against AT&#38;T as a telecommunication monopoly the US Justice Department ordered that AT&#38; be split. This resulted in the Long Distance Carrier AT&#38;T and seven Regional Bell Operating Companies (termed RBOCs). This is known as the Divestiture of AT&#38;T. Today the Long Distance AT&#38;T [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Customer Premise Equipment This term in actuality does make some sense. It&#8217;s equipment that is located on the site of the customer (usually referenced to by the Telecommunications Carrier, Voice or Data). This could be equipment that is owned by the carrier or, more commonly, owned by the customer. Depending on who owns the equipment [...]]]></description>
