Well, it's on the web site, and our AM team gave us a price a few weeks ago. I'm just surprised why they'd do this, considering you need tons of ports in an FTTH setup, and the ASR920 is short on those. I've asked the BU to work on a 48-port switch re: the ASR920, as I think that would go well with the 4x 10Gbps uplink ports and make for a good upgrade path for the ME3600X/3800X. Cisco's thinking of getting 4x 10Gbps ports on the ASR920 (compared to 2x on the ME3600X/3800X) is if operators have customers that want to take 10Gbps ports, they can use the additional 10Gbps ports. Not sure how good an idea that is, as for me, I'd not be willing to tell customers we can do 10Gbps at a PoP with this device since I can only sell to one customer; two at the most if I'm being really pushy with the unit. I'd need some scalability. Mark.
