They'll have to build a separate box for that, otherwise my price will 
be unreasonably inflated :-).

Good to hear the enterprise space wants to get rid of STP. It needs to 
go where RIP lives (or died).

At any rate, that would have to be a copper port if you want PoE. We 
don't run copper ports in any of our Metro-E deployments; buying a 
copper SFP is so much easier than buying a copper switch. So I guess, on 
that basis, Cisco can build a PoE solution that is targeted toward 
non-ISP networks.
