    Will you people PLEASE hire an editor who can correct the atrocious grammar in your articles, which are otherwise quite useful and interesting? Please?
    Some examples:
    “applications are improving”…. should be ‘applications improve’
    “When positioned over MPLS, SIP lets the placing” – should be ‘permits the placing’
    “that lets voice to be sent over” – should be ‘voice be sent’

    These are just a few of the clangers in this article. Poor grammar makes you look unprofessional and turns people off from reading otherwise interesting material.

    Sincerely,

    Wally Moran
