Yes,  Bruce's paper describes similiar offerings by the larger ISP's.  Is 
he going to offer something bigger and better than anyone else? I doubt 
it.. Will he run into the same bottlenecks and issues everyone else did 
when they attempted the same type of service? Unless he has developed a way 
to protect customer's data from end to end and from security expert analyst 
to another.  I would be very interested in seeing the whole customer order 
cycle to implementation to monitoring to event notification.

I am unsure of who he may hire to sit who is a CISSP, good credit, good 
teeth, good hair.  But a majority of us security folks may be ok in 2 out 
of 4 of the previous items listed, but not all. If you do have all 4, then 
you are probably are a Partner of some Big Three accounting firm appearing 
on the cover of some magazine advertising your E-Commerce Security service 
and live in Kansas City.

Cheers and Jeers
