I can't comment more due to confidentially reasons, but it is all wrong. <BR/><BR/>The picture is very bright for both BT and Counterpane employees. <BR/><BR/>You also are not familiar with how aquisitions work because not all VC's contributed to subsequent rounds, and therefore, the current active VC's can yield a nice profit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088979.post-1161905766329318972006-10-26T19:36:00.000-04:002006-10-26T19:36:00.000-04:00Why do you suppose the MSSP model hasn't caught on...Why do you suppose the MSSP model hasn't caught on? Do businesses just not see the need for high-end security? Is it too hard to outsource?

I wouldn't think the investors are relaxing, but rather being a bit happy they got something out, but also ruing the day they heard about MSS.<BR/><BR/>I also wouldn't assume Counterpane would be doing much for BT internally. The scale of what a carrier needs to do is massive and taking that responsibility out of the UK would probably be a political hot potatoe (using the UK spelling :-).<BR/><BR/>Mike.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
