The variable component is insignificant. Breaking it out into a significant element of the billing model is a commercial distortion. This is not a complex network. No long-haul switching, no transit, no peering. Switching at the FAN and POI. In normal operation, with a $40 per month flat-rate port fee the network will take in slightly under half a billion dollars *per month* in access fees. If that isn’t enough to plan for 5 year lifecycles on active switching elements, everyone at NBNco should be sacked and replaced with people who are competent. - mark _______________________________________________ AusNOG mailing list AusNOG@lists.ausnog.net http://lists.ausnog.net/mailman/listinfo/ausnog
