Hi Joe,
Sounds highly plausible, although there are counter-examples where layer-8 is where the driving starts (e.g. in response to whatever Dan Kaminsky's findings have morphed into by the time they reach the 11th floor).
Usually by the time something reaches the top floor it has had several iterations of engineers review it and then someone who can speak translate geek into English so it's something understandable for the non engineer. At least that is my experience, and not trying to be disparaging of engineers or management...
How have you explained it to management at Telecom? That seems like a useful thing to share.
I haven't yet, that is what my discussion document is going to try and do. Once it's finished I will ask if it is something we can share in a public forum. It may need to be sanitised for public consumption of course. I think it would be useful to share as well, so if any other's watching the list have been through this and can share, that would be useful from my point of view.

Typically this sort of thing isn't a key driver at layer 8 so the value to the organisation in having it done needs to be explained.
