Scott is on vacation, so let me jump in here.... His team is attempting to put together a service that will allow our resellers to offer a product bundle more similar to that offered by other industry players. Again, I'll note that I haven't kept completely up-to-speed with what Scott and the gang are up to, but from what I have seen on this list and gathered around the water-cooler, he/we are completely approaching this as a channel product. The rub lies with the management platform. Being a wholesaler, technically, isn't a piece of cake when it comes to introducing new services (read the exciting new novel "Darryl Green's Big Adventure in CertLand" for more details). This pilot is very much a "let's try something, see what we break and then fix it before we get to the design stage" effort. My question for all of you is are you opposed to the project because you aren't part of the pilot or are you opposed to it because it isn't right to do something like this under any circumstances (even when it is available to all of our resellers)? Or is it something else? Understanding this will really go a long way in allowing us to more appropriately interpret what you are all saying to us - sort of the most important part of the pilot (getting feedback I mean). -rwr
