When you mention (and, that is never casual) the ticker and the turnover of a company you speak on behalf of it. Which makes the process of furnishing a comment uniquely challenging. I am not surprised that BW did not carry it. I am equally unsurprised that the 24x7 news media did not deem this decently news-worthy to provoke a panel discussion. The sheer audacity of the statement should have made governments sit up and, formulate a statement by reaching out to interested consortia. -- sankarshan mukhopadhyay <http://sankarshan.randomink.org/blog> _______________________________________________ network mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fosscom.in/listinfo.cgi/network-fosscom.in
