What's new at Tocqueville . . . |
VOIP, a tax cut for government
A switch to voice-over-internet-protocol technology could reduce the combined telephone bills of U.S. federal, state, and local agencies by $4.5 billion or more annually.

SBY spells leadership for Indonesia
Tocqueville's statesman of the month is Indonesia's Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, or "SBY." He's valuable to his people, and democracy around the world, as a moderate Moslem with plans to improve both halves of the country's political economy. The dominoes are spreading, from Turkey to Kazakhstan to the Philippines. For a profile of a promising new face, here.
