As an aside, is anyone else besides Sprint behind this /18 model?
The user community should not be forced into flash cuts, and the providers can make the needed overlap period of time work for bounded time frames.
At a minimum, the model needs to be /18+E (E==entropy due to customer migrations).
Then, if we are going to get into implementation details now, the list should figure out just how long that "needed overlap period" is, since if I remember correctly, PST's original note on this indicated annual reductions in the mask value. Right Paul? -- --bill
