Great wrap up Doug! I really got a sense of what was going on. Thanks for being our eyes and ears on the ground.

Thanks, Karen—glad to hear you enjoyed this one and I encourage you and others to watch a few more of them.  Among my favorite are a story of an Afghani woman inspired by a Cisco exec at 2006 and now is an entrepreneur of her own online business ( http://blogs.cisco.com/sp/comments/itu_2009_cisco_and_afghani_womans_journey_to_entrepreneurship/ ) and John Chambers’ wrap up of ITU ( http://blogs.cisco.com/sp/comments/itu_2009_john_chambers_wraps_up_on_final_day_from_geneva/ ).
Thanks again for the feedback, and for adding to the dialogue on Cisco SP360,
Doug
