?I could also see the Tier 1s enthusiastically supporting a system that appears to rationalise anyone below themselves out of the supply chain. :-)? They're getting better and better at delivering smaller transactions. It started out with the stereotypical, "Level3 won't talk to you unless you've got at least $25k/mo to commit", but where we are today is that just about anyone can have MFN pricing with a $500 deposit and a miniscule commit. Soon anyone with $10 will be able to terminate US domestic at $0.001. The proposed system might just hasten this process along, as the big CLECs that feed the industry ask, "Why do we need resellers again?" -- Alex?Balashov?|?Principal?|?Evariste?Systems?LLC 303?Perimeter?Center?North,?Suite?300 Atlanta,?GA?30346 United?States Tel:?+1-800-250-5920?(toll-free)?/?+1-678-954-0671 (direct) Web:?http://www.evaristesys.com/, http://www.csrpswitch.com/ Sent?from?my?BlackBerry.
