The study is directed solely towards facilitating understanding of metro area networks, for analysts who approach from the perspective of energy consumption.
The study is anonymous (no individual or company names are solicited), and individual responses will only be used in aggregate.
I shall send a digest of the survey to the mailing list, and will correspond with respondents who would like a copy of the paper which I intend to produce with the results.
I need more data (42/50 received/desired - at time of publication),
especially from MSOs
(but please, if you can, whatever your operator genre, do answer/distribute/nudge).
I’m concurrently running a parallel survey with support from a market research team.
The results will be part of a submission to a journal, with the scope of energy-aware telecommunications.
(I admit that the work is taking longer than I expected back in June)
Any feedback/discussion which you, the prime exponents of our industry’s cutting operational edge (I am just an academic), would care to share with me, would be a most valuable asset.
