Question 1: Select a company whose success hinges primarily upon its communication infrastructure, including publicly available networks, such as the Internet. You may consider using, for example, Skype (Vonage, Netflix, Dish Network might be other possibilities). Download the most recent 10K filing of the company with the SEC and review the risk factors disclosed by the company. Determine if any risks they should have included are missing from the list.
Question 2: What are fundamental differences, from the risk management perspective, between Public switched telephone network (PSTN) and VoIP communication infrastructures? The term "fundamental" is used here to denote intrinsic differences that cause you to change or modify your risk perspective. Would you recommend your employer (or former employer) to switch to the VoIP infrastructure at this time? Why or why not?
