Give me a break. This list becoming "less useful"?!
Alert the press! (or maybe not, according to you)
Traditionally, there has been a real knowledge gap between
technology journalists and network operators. This has the negative
effect of mainstream media presenting incorrect and/or skewed
information regarding not only technical issues, but larger industry
issues (including things like l3/cogent).
Without clued contacts, journalists are forced to glean their
information from sources like vendor press releases and sales
representatives.
Is that how you'd like the public's window into the industry
colored? Do you really think that VendorSpeak really needs any more
legitimizing?
