Hi Paul, Thanks for that, this ties in with what I feared to a certain extent. It seems there is some implied relationship between simply ‘connecting to’ and ‘using/selling’ the services. I’ve seen similar wording for Azure…
It looks like there may not be a path that doesn’t involve also having to sell (and be certified in) the various solutions and services within the cloud provider before you can simply hook-up a physical port for sub-client distribution. At this rate, the “reseller of a reseller” route may be the only remaining path - as we have no desire to become accredited in a load of services we don’t even sell :) Thanks again everyone!
