Haha, It seems like I'm good at getting myself in trouble. :) Hopefully Marco won't put the smack down on me too badly.
I really don't believe that I said anything that wasn't true. I'm sure that most everyone at IPX knows that their customers want a shorter time slot and have for quite some time. The last time this email thread came up I believe Marco made mention of some potential technical issues with going to 4 hour time slots. The reality is IPX will require a big enough business driver to make it worth their effort to overcome the technical issues. Business Driver=Money. ________________________________ From: Jay McMickle <[email protected]> To: Rob Pool <[email protected]> Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>; "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2012 7:56 AM Subject: Re: [OSL | CCIE_RS] vrack time slots availability Uh oh.
