Also, please also do not confuse Vadim's individual opinion with the opinion of Sprint. Sprint also recognizes the cost-benefits of a fast packet service versus point-to-point circuits. One of the primary reasons we pursued an ATM strategy in advance of many others was due to the cost-benefits in our backbone...There are a litany of other reasons which I would be happy to pontificate...Pushpendra, no criticism intended, but I would probably argue that our stockholders do not consider the cost of additional network capacity as "funny-money"....
Bob, I meant it in jest. It is easy for staff to lose sight of that fact, just like my staff sometimes tends to forget about the incremental cost of additional Internet access when coming up with proposals for new services. Recall that CERFnet is probably the only customer at this point of Sprint ATM services that is using it to access the NAPs. --pushpendra Pushpendra Mohta pushp () cerf net +1 619 455 3908 Director of Engineering +1 800 876 2373 CERFNet - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
