This really isn't true. Lets look at some basic facts:
There are only ~6000 or so CCIE's in the world, possibly as many as 30%
are employed by cisco.
There are over 6000 ISP's in the US alone.
There are over 7000 AS's in the world.
My point is, that if most of your CCIE's work for cisco and big big
companies, then their are a ton of networks, complex networks, that don't
even have CCIE's at the healm. Even a large company like UUnet may only
have a handfull of CCIE's.
Their is very few CCIE's, and very many networks that need help. I am not
talking about simple networks, but complex networks with complex issues.
