Does your model(s) also take into account that people's capital structure may not allow them the luxury of leaving multiple OC-X ports wired up and sitting idle waiting for a surge? One thing I found somewhat interesting among the "dymanic" allocation of resources type infrastructure was the fact that my capacity planning is on the order of weeks, while the exchanges assume something on the order of minutes. I don't have enough capital sitting around that I can afford to deploy and hook up a bunch of OC-x ports to an exchange and then sit there waiting for them to be used maybe sometimes in the future, for sure, etc etc. So perhaps the thought of an optical exchange running out of resources might be a bit of an overkill at this stage? /vijay
