i really don't get what the problem is. it's like they're being deliberately obtuse. 

Michael,

If vendors saw a 10GbE CPE market, they would serve it. Obviously they don’t see a market. Why don’t people insisting 
vendors build their hobby horse see that? It’s like they’re being deliberately obtuse :)

I don't know percentages, but just trying to find cpe that support it in their specs is depressingly small.
