Anyone work in the Telecom/Service Provider Market?

Just wondering who works in the Telecom / Service Provider market. I work for a super Regional Cellular Carrier. Worked in Customer Service to a Telecom Help Desk troubleshooting Roaming Issues with customers and other providers, now work as a Service Technician doing electronic repair with cellular phones.

Telecom

I've worked in several roles supporting voice, data and the convergence of the two over ATM and IP. I've been a Field Technician, Tier 2 Technical Support, Tier 3 Engineering and a Technical Manager. Over the years I've aquired several entry level certifications, Specialist certifications for two different companies and an Expert level certification.
Currently, I'm an Operations Manager supporting a team of engineers in both Texas and Singapore for a large Telecom Manufacturer.

 

Very cool. There are some experience individuals on this board!
