What is the benchmark? What are we trying to do? Where does CCOI fail and some competitor succeeds? Purely from tenQ POV, CCOI seems to be doing fine and improving. Many shops that we could consider competitors have been run to the ground or been sold off to avoid losing more. I fear that what they are doing objectively works from a business POV, and nanog is not representative of the addressable market, if anything, it may be a net-win to get rid of us, as we may be more expensive to support than mean. -- ++ytti
