Now we just need a Telco or three in NZ to support ATM at STM-4 rates.
Is anybody really waiting for that? If you're shifting an STM-4s worth of data around, it's probably a stream of packets, and it's probably IP, and you probably want to use POS. You probably don't want the additional complexity, cost, operational overhead, cell tax and SAR latency that using ATM would involve. Also, ATM is the work of Satan, which should be mentioned, for the record.
