I have tons of those but I don't work on any of those networks at the moment. Check your Linkedin profile/friends? Mine says what I have done and where I am but that could all be made up and total garbage. Rely on word of mouth among other "trusted" contributors? What about the little guy who has never been heard of but who may have control over an AS that could potentially bring down or seriously affect one of the big guys or their customers?</div>
