Hi Peter, Thanks for the continued reporting on the matter of 11n acceptance. From several discussions I've had recently, I'm getting the sense that the usual concerns over purchasing pre-standards .11n gear are not as high as the purchase of other network elements. I believe you may have also intimated something to this effect recently, as well. Why is this? Any ideas? Even in situations where it's pretty well established that a given vendor's super 100 Mbps .11n-like wares WON'T upgrade later on, decisions are being made to go for it. This suggests that strict adherence to standards may be diminishing as one gets farther away from the demark, towards the end user's own equipment. Perhaps it also speaks to the relative benefits of going to higher speeds and the inexpensiveness making a change later on, if needed. FAC
