Nonsense. Small providers are the ones who are financially connected to reality, and thus more likely to make money (since the owners generally want to keep paying the bills) and remain in business. The issue with small providers is, you don't always know what you are going to get. You could end up with someone that doesn't have much clue about providing good service simply because they are inexperienced. On the other hand, you could find someone who is very experienced but who wants to work for themselves, or on a project where they can have a significant impract. Being small could very easily mean they are sensible, nimble, and not burdoned with silly bureaucracy. That said, this has very little place on NANOG. -- Richard A Steenbergen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras PGP Key ID: 0x138EA177 (67 29 D7 BC E8 18 3E DA B2 46 B3 D8 14 36 FE B6)
