What Other Analysts are Saying About MEFWhat Other Analysts are Saying About MEF

“A combination of overlay/underlay and an interconnected-metro model of the network of the future would be in myview incredibly insightful, and if it could be promotedeffectively, it could be a revolution. The MEF is the onlybody that seems to be articulating this model, and thatmakes them a player in next-gen infrastructure in itself.”
