Jari, I'm pretty sure that we can stipulate that that deployability is of critical importance (at least you can get that from me). However, as I said (and if its not actually out of scope), maybe we should get the biz people in this disussion if you want to talk about that angle. Stated otherwise, do we have the right group of people engaged to take on the business end of this? What I see is a lot of speculation, but not much more. Dave
