Apologies for the cross post: Is there anyone (other than guys at Safaricom) planning to sit for the CCIE lab around April next year. This means you absolutely must have done your written (R&S,Security and or SP)? or plan to do it soon. Im not interested in 'I plan to do it in xyz' for this thread. I need dates before February ie commitments to pay between now and end of January. Cisco Kenya are trying to justify having the mobile lab https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/docs/DOC-3224 here within the first half of the coming year. They do however require a minimum number of participants - +30 for it to make sense economically. If you are working on this please unicast me or the group/s so we can give an approximation of the numbers. *If you're looking to just understand the certification, please join <http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/eanog>the East African Network Operators Group (EANOG) and start a separate thread. We'll be more than happy to answer your queries over there. Regards, JGitau
