Hisham: From your many posts, I get the impression that you are quite knowledgeable about the Telecom Industry.

I have a question that remains unanswered and perhaps you could help.If a Enterprise such as CHINAPOST is building a large Network in stages would it be normal for them to put out a RFP with a lot of Financial proviso's regarding credit Lines etc and a proviso for a single prime Contractor.

If this is the case, it would appear that LU was the prime and the
subContractors were ASND(EDGE switches), NN(Carrier class) and others
based on a combo of technical and financial credits they or their Govt's could offer.

If this is not the way large Networks are Contracted for, I would be thankful if you or anyone else could lay out a brief procedure.

One last question. Is it mandatory for the same eqpt to be used in the follow on stages or do protocols allow for a mix and match as and when
other stages are Contracted out.

Thanks.
