Hi, Frank - Setting up temporary paths and virtual circuits that bypass the greater 'net, in other words. Just some thoughts... comments and corrections welcome. Agreed! If you accept that what is happening now is the 'layin' of track' and that track will eventually belong to a dozen providers, instead of the present hundreds, then the only question is whether or not the track has sufficient footprint to let you run your express. The factual point of the inclusion was that the "network" or domain, ideal was achievable, and not fanciful, that a future commitment to a fibre network might aggregate along its length companies and technologies that adhere to a network "vision", and that vision would necessarily include a mobile Last Mile solution. Mike and I discussed the concept earlier: it would devolve to several domains with differing, but not incompatible protocols, and the cost realities would subject the competing visions to a Darwinian selection process. Necessarily, such domains would meet at the cross-connect, where, as Frank has pointed out, they would again be subject to transmission rates at the lowest common denominator.
