Boasting is fine until economic realities start to affect your bottom line. I always held to the opinion that stratification of Internet is inevitable. Neither it is a bad phenomenon per se -- it reflect shifing of Internet being add-on service to being a core business of facilities based telecom companies. The ultimate win will be a network which is a lot more useful, with solid and sustainable business model. --vadim - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
