Skeletons in the telecom closet: The 10 scariest things I've seen this year

It's Halloween. Time for lists like the Best Halloween Candy and the Scariest Movies of All Time. So I made my own list of the Scariest Things I've Seen This Year. They're all related to our industry in some way, shape or form. Much of the items on the list we've shared with you already.

Not all of them are scary in the same way that, say, for example, The Exorcist still freaks me out even though I'm supposed to be a grown man. Rather, many of them are pieces of information or occurrences that raised my eyebrows and/or raised questions in my mind about some of the goings-on in the world of communications, cabling, and commerce. They're not presented in countdown form, 10 through 1 ("least scary" to "scariest") because I couldn't really put them in order. They're all unique and, in my eyes, scary in their own way.

With all that in mind, click here to see my list of the 10 Scariest Things I've Seen This Year.
