Re: [802.3BA] 802.3ba XR ad hoc next step concern
Hi Steve,
Yes that helped a lot. I hope the others on the list are
not irritated by my request for repetition of the data.
Given the data, it truly is a challenging issue. I see a
20% premium for a 17% increase in coverage.
This means the confidence in the numbers is exceptionally
important and assuming they are accurate, a judgement call by the committee on
whether or not a 17% increase in port coverage justifies the 20% increase in
cost.
This is important because if you increase the price of a
solution by 20%, you may decrease the number of customers who are willing to buy
it by more than 20%. Thus, in the overall mix, it might turn out to satisfy less
customers overall.
Its a pretty challenging judgement call
IMHO.
Thanks for providing the data.
Dan
