On the other side, there are a lot of CLECs, ITSPs and small independent ISPs that seem to feel they have a "god given right" to make profits despite _not_ having invested in networks, build-out, or any kind of value-creating CAPEX other than resale infrastructure... Don't get me wrong, I like this category of the industry, I'm fundamentally on their side. But it still bears pointing out. -- Alex Balashov Evariste Systems Web : http://www.evaristesys.com/ Tel : (+1) (678) 954-0670 Direct : (+1) (678) 954-0671 Mobile : (+1) (706) 338-8599 _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
