How many Clec's do you think there are with "Excess Capacity" and marketing
people refusing to sell it ?  How many colo's are vacant but, the sales guy
wants that one big sale, so no discounts? We see it all the time. Sales &
Marketing (Price Fixers) have driven many  a CLEC to bankruptcy.

On another note: Tommorrow I think is the day the CRTC is supposed to issue
a ruling on the fee's Clec's pay to ILec's. Should be interesting.
