Unfortunately, the people driving this decision are of sufficient management level that I will get sucked into going beyond the written policy. I have a meeting next Tuesday. I don't do Powerpoint, but I am putting together a dog and pony show with regard to costs, reliability, remote data transfer, etc. My hope is that once I am done, they will (1) be embarrassed to spend the money, and (2) afraid that things that used to be correctable OTA, while they were traveling, will be unavailable.
