Hi John, Firstly thanks so much for getting us off the ground here. Some of my comments below: We need to create one document which outlines all the roles of the telco rather than three separate documents. So you have gotten us essentially started on one part of the document. Futhermore, even for the Grid Managed service provider section, I think we need to have 3 parts to the section and they are all being muddled right now in your writeup. What is it??? What is a managed grid provider? Why is a telco particularly suited to play that role? What services/ families of services could a telco as a managed grid provider potentially provide? And then, what requirements does that place - on the telco? On the standards bodies? On the grid implementations? Etc. My two cents worth.
