The people that have invested in global fiber operate much like a cartel -- leaking the capacity into the market to keep prices artificially high, much like the DeBeers family & diamonds. :-) Historically, representatives of these organizations meet once a year on the golf course in Hawaii to determine who to sell to. It would be nice to see some new faces in that game -- maybe it would help leverage the market a bit. - - ferg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Desktop 9.6.3 (Build 3017) wj8DBQFG9F14q1pz9mNUZTMRAme/AJ9fltDlJax2YTvUUtYIMvMvNuDCDACbBgFm YoNGiX8ABiWEG78NBRsckAg= =GPD/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
