I must start by expressing heartfelt gratitude at the amenability of so many people who responded to my request for feedback to a questionnaire I posted last year <https://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2022-July/219870.html>. The results are out and I can share a preprint <https://www.researchgate.net/publication/376111355_A_survey_of_trends_and_motivations_regarding_Communication_Service_Providers'_metro_area_network_implementations> . It's long, but the structure of the PDF bookmarks should facilitate browsing to points of interest. Comments and criticism are welcome. Cheers, Etienne -- Ing. Etienne-Victor Depasquale
