        Heya. Quick comment:

        Akshally...from my recent discussions with a heavy-iron
maker, their desires with regard to the success of the "edge of 
the network" SOHO-gateway market is much more along the lines of 
"by any means necessary".

        That is, their highest margins are in the cloud, and 
anything which makes that cloud "bigger" is good for them. An
example would be Cisco's cable-modem business: they sell
reference designs so that more people can sell cable-modems.
The P&L of that group can be net-zero...more cale-modem users
can *only* be a good thing for CSCO.

        Bottom line is that I'd bet a cloud-maker would want LEAF
to succeed wildly. It's those $5k black-box makers (like..errr..
like the ones George mentioned on LRP earlier in the week ;) that 
will feel the real chafing.
