<sky-pie>  I did just wonder if it's worth the time of a few of the
smaller ISPs to get together to design & build their own 'open' CPE,
including hardware & software specification. Incorporate it as a
co-operative entity and, together, compete with the 'big few'.

Customisation on the outside is relatively easy (stickers), web GUI
skinning takes care of the interface (if you choose to expose it) and
the cumulative investment - not to mention buying power - would reduce
the exposure to certain risks.

Has something like this been tried and failed already? I can't be the
first to think of it... UKNOF as it is today might be a good platform to
garner interest. </sky-pie>
