<<why isn't another company buying CW for this great product, >> You just never know what is happening behind the scenes. You might be surprised. <<or why isn't the CW product garnering sales that can be announced?>> This is a cut-throat market. If they know who is testing Aranea, an established big player is QUITE CAPABLE of coming in and offering product at fire sale prices, even at a loss, just to take that customer away from the startup. These tests with carriers can take a LONG time. IMO, any test time prior to March 15th (the date of their new SW release) doesn't really count. It was just a time to find out where the holes were and fix them. As I pointed out in a prior post, these tests are not for 1-2 boxes. Carriers don't mix-match core routers. This is for ALL the core routers with a customer going forward. The stakes are high. I wouldn't say a word either until the contracts were physically in my hand.
