How many > go unfilled each month? After chatting with Susmit about this it doesn't appear that we can solve the problem there by throwing media or money at the region. Basically, if we provided X it would be consumed and another X would be needed. So some structural change is necessary to fundamentally fix things and he is working on that now as he has described in another thread recently. So I am out of ideas about how the board can help beyond giving us some moral support. :) We do appreciate that.
