<p>Hi gang</p>
<p>The vendor shoot out is ok but it may be something that the vendors would rather not do. Having one vendor come in to make a pitch is ok with me. At least for this kind of service.</p>
<p>Best regards, <br>
John<br>

If we're having commercial vendors come in, I'd like to see it as a<br>
vendor shootout. Bring in three competitors, each can pitch to the<br>
crowd for 30 minutes (with 15 min between presentations to mop up the<br>
blood).<br>
<br>
Locally, in addition to Fibrenetics we also have Sentex and Execulink<br>
with hosting packages. None of them are Big Media (ie. Bell or Rogers),<br>
so they'll be pitching to a friendly crowd.<br>
