----------------------------------------- and what would this mean ?? where exactly is the equipment replicated ? is it one at customer access point and the other at the carrier provider's end? is this what is duplication ....and what is the context for "Multiple networks" ? ---------------------------------------- "Multiple networks, however, are extremely expensive to build and maintain. Capital expenditure is high because equipment is replicated, and operation and maintenance costs are high because of the duplication of personnel and practices for each separate network.
