It doesn't matter if they have a dedicated 56k or an OC-192. Customers can and should expect to have their space needs met as per their needs. These guidelines are not that draconian: Although topological issues may make exceptions necessary, the basic criteria that should be met to receive network numbers are listed below: 25% immediate utilization rate 50% utilization rate within 1 year The utilization rate above is to be used as a guideline, there may be be occasions when the 1 year rate does not fall exactly in this range. Organizations must exhibit a high confidence level in its 1 year utilization rate and supply documentation to justify the level of confidence. Austin
