[c-nsp] How can one escalate within Cisco TAC?

[Mark Tinka]

For those going to Manila for this year's APRICOT meeting, I will be 
part of a panel that is discussing this very issue - about the dwindling 
talent pool as it pertains to those with the hard skills, that were able 
to train-up the the next generation of network engineers:

While it is focused on the ongoing battle between the ISP and content 
communities, it has not spared the talent situation in the vendor 
community either, as this thread is clearly exposing.

Mark.
