	Because most of them aren't capable of supporting that?  Maybe 
only the most expensive line cards which cost tens of thousands of 
dollars for just one card, and you have to have dozens or hundreds of 
such cards for a large Tier-1 network?  Not to mention the hundreds 
of thousands or millions of dollars that you have to spend to get the 
ultra high-end chassis into which the expensive line cards have to be 
plugged in?

	The please feel free to upgrade the entire Internet, and come 
back to us when you're done.
