I highly, highly doubt that. I'm on the ISP/C BoD, as is Jon Mann of
Lucent RABU, and I never heard anything outside of ~300-500 discussed for
a new conference. Sure, we'd *love* to *grow* like that, but expecting
4-5K attendees *first year* would be crazy.

Lucent was very kind for the first year, coming asa Platinum level
sponsor. Livingston was, I believe, the first ISP/C vendor member. Which
is why I'm upset that Lucent RABU apparenly is not participating in an
official capacity in ISPF 2.

>*shrug* I'd still like to push them to have a simple presence. Again,

There is a month left, and it is in San Diego - not a long trip from
Pleasanton. If people want Lucent RABU at ISPF 2 - *let them know now!*
