This week, the SearchITChannel.com staff talks about how Sun Microsystems' profits affect the channel, and how Sun partners are reacting to the disappointing news. There's also a discussion on AT&T's new cloud computing initiative, and whether "cloud" is the new "ASP" in the telecommunications market.
