You'll lose that bet too... Perhaps you should quit while you're ahead. Not a chance. :) BTW: contrary to what you may believe, carriers are in business to make money. Therefore they don't buy technology unless they either make them money today or are a way to plan for the future. Either way there is a solution behind it. Show me a carrier (after the SMDS debacle) that has purchased technology for the sake of the technology only. I think I already made the point about making money. I also think I already showed you the carrier who purchased technology. AT&T was Cisco's single largest customer. The AT&T Stratacom network is the largest FR network in the world. Yet AT&T chose ASND's technology for ATM. Despite John's claims that they were making a big mistake and they should stick to the Cisco relationship. He pushed the relationship angle and all the marketing glitz. But AT&T and the other carriers don't buy marketing. I don't know what you are fishing for with SMDS. It really has no bearing here.
