ah-ha! and here I thought they wanted buzzword compliance :) From what sales/customers say it seems like they have a perception that 'qos will let me use MORE of my too-small pipe' (or not spend as fast on more pipe) more than anything else. and i wonder who is selling that need? the wierd thing is you'd think the telco would just say: "Well gosh, sorry we can't help you squeeze 10lbs of poo into your 5lb bag, wanna by a shiney new 10lb bag?" or maybe you meant equipment vendors? :)
bingo! buy more, and more complex, hardware and you can charge more. what they forget to mention is that income will get blown in opex and capex (with the vendors getting the latter).
charge more you say?? I need to talk to our marketting dept!!! :) The world of marketting and sales is so incestuously intertwined among consumers and consumee's ... it's an amazing thing.
