Hi Jaco<br>
<br>
While we must appreciate all inputs, I get very concerned when people who do not operate networks start talking about the operational resource issues involved in network operations.<br>
<br>
If the concern was on a policy level, rather than operational - I would give it greater consideration.<br>
<br>
Just my 2c, no doubt will be flamed.<br>
<br>
Mike<br>
