CVC price set by Avg volume, not tied to year.<br>Real growth in CVC charges is ~5% and 16% per doubling.<br><br>Is that too much? Maybe on the high-end of tolerable.<br>If the volume growth is 60-70% as CISCO forecasts, they'll be reducing CVC pricing faster, but my maths is failing me.

It's very clear to any rational person that even Turnbull's staff cannot possibly believe in his increasingly shaky rhetoric. They must be working under intolerable pressure, trying to defend the indefensible. Increasingly surrounded by logical conclusions and inescapable facts, they can only retreat into their bunker, from where they can attempt to marshall inequitable and ethereal battalions of bullshit and bluster. I think the Telegraph got it wrong - it's Turnbull and his staff who should be Wermacht uniforms......Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17673653116765663369noreply@blogger.com
