Oracle has exhibition booths at most web hosting events in Europe. They get very little traffic. Am skeptical they can be a player. - R. ________________________________ From: NANOG <nanog-bounces@nanog.org> on behalf of Jason Hellenthal <jhellenthal@dataix.net> Sent: Monday, November 21, 2016 6:27 PM To: North American Network Operators' Group Subject: Re: Oracle buys...
