Federal standards are now in place that ensure patients have access to their own medical records while adding new responsibilities to those charged with protecting this information.&lt;/p&gt;

However, the full extent of credit crisis shall be apparent only after the debts would be due for rollover for the telecom companies and the deals handed over to them by the financial institutions as regards to their leveraged positions. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, It is also true that communications has not only become an intricate part of our lives but also sometimes defines who we are. Hence, its not easy for people to abandon a piece of their personality that easily.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, I would really think that the ongoing investments by big telecom firms shall depend on how the economic climate turns out in next quarter (both in depth and breadth of the economic crisis across the globe - weather we are in recession or depression). Till then, I would agree with your &amp;#39;cautious optimism&amp;#39; for OSS/BSS industry but not so far as to predict 2009 - the year TO BE !!!&lt;/p&gt;
