Curtis, As you and I both know, there is a huge diurnal cycle to traffic, plus macro cycles at the weekly period. Even with local power optimization in place, our experience with traffic engineering alone suggests that there are further, global optimizations that are possible. Again, I think that constraining our thinking to what is 'worthwhile' today, at current power rates is shortsighted. We need to understand what can be done, what the returns are, and only then, let various operators judge as to whether it is of commercial interest to them or not.
