But you didn't actually do it then.

Ok, true.

And the reason they started noticing it later was because only then did you actually implement the filters, without further notice, instead of much earlier. The surprise was due to the fact that you did it without further notice and not the fact that you did it.

Hey, people should take notes when I rant. However you're right and as I said a long time ago it probably would have been helpful to try to coordinate things a little better. On the other hand, the unilateral action completely eliminated any argument that there was collusion between Sprint, MCI and the rest, which maybe was a good thing at the time. That people still yell about this is sort-of funny. Do you think people would be screaming less about allocation policies if I had been doing a count-down between the final warning and the actual implementation? (That's an actual question with obvious future operational impact rather than a rhetorical point. Really.) Sean.
