This is pretty dumb! If you are going to talk about the economic systems
aspect of tier 1 providers then you have to include subscriber
cancellations and company reputation. Not to do so is roughly equivalent
to discussing why people should use Cisco 75xx boxes and saying something
like:
"aside from the 75xx's BGP features which I won't deal with here"

In an economic system, lost revenue is lost revenue whether it comes from
subscriber cancellations or elsewhere.
