Aaron> "Dozens"?

Well, any large number can be counted in dozens.  Avagadro's number
can be expressed as approximately 5.018 times ten to the 22 dozen.

There are in the neighborhood of 100 PTP nodes in the metro area
today, that's about 8 dozen.  We also have a node in the Phillipines,
last I heard.  Roughly half of those eight dozen are managed by our
Network Operations Team, the others are operated independently.
Outside of Mississippi, there are about 3 dozen NOT-managed PTP nodes
at the moment.  We've set up more than that, of course, but some
attrition has taken a modest toll.  For example, we recently
discovered that Costellos has gone its own way, over which I will shed
few tears.  

We continue to work on new nodes, and I think with some modest
publicity the PTP cloud could grow substantially.
