I've been wanting to order AT&T's @Home cable Internet service for my home office for more than four months now. It seems like at least once a week I find an advertisement for the service hanging on my mailbox.

It is largely axiomatic that a company in any high-tech industry increases its value by expanding and appropriately protecting its base of documented, formalized intellectual property (IP).
Intellectual property is ubiquitous, valuable, and expensive. All organizations from high-tech to no-tech have intellectual property. It is the knowledge that allows everyone to perform. Therefore, it is the most valuable item an organization can keep. The source of intellectual property is people. Since people are expensive, so is intellectual property.
