    I have been involved myself in the Telecom industry and I can also tell you that one of the biggest time wasters was the roaming (especially in small operations, where resources are multi-tasking).

    True, but here's the caveat: I've seen seven technology consultancies in the past two months, trying to sell me on their technology engineering know-how in the "new media" industry. When I asked about their processes, methodologies, project management, reporting, staffing, sourcing, risk managment, etc., their answer was something along the lines: "we're not *that* kind of consultants who will try and rip you off with useless overhead. We're getting things done."

    Which shows me that in some industries consultants have such a bad reputation that selling project or program management even seems to be something *bad*, something unprofessional. While many telecoms might not understand or grasp the reach and impact of "new media", many of technology-centric companies should be able to understand the terror and anger when you would pickup the phone and you have no dial tone (Hello Twitter).
