Oil shocks, rising prices, dwindling supplies\u2026..it was 1979 and I remember reading an article on the wall of my high school economics class that described the horrible conditions that resulted from this energy crisis. Of course, when I first read these words, I thought they were referring to the dismal economic climate that afflicted the U.S. It was only when I got to the end of the article that I realized that they were talking about the 1850s and the shortage of whale oil. That article taught me a number of things, but, first and foremost I learned that as prices rise, it becomes profitable to substitute goods that otherwise would have been too expensive to bring to market.<\/p>\n

Well, I am reminded of the 70s again, with all of the people I hear whining about the price of gas. I even read in the latest issue of the National Geographic that someday soon we will begin seeing a decline in oil production (I am sure it will happen someday \u2013 although in the 70s, I remember \u201cexperts\u201d predicting that we would be out of oil by now and, oh yeah, that there would be global cooling). This article is not a discussion of the future. Instead it is intended to give telcos some ideas as to how to make the most of today\u2019s interesting situation.
