Thank you for your proposal and offer. These are great news and this is
something that we were aiming to achieve with the Rocket CWMP project -
to build a carrier community. There are technical items on how to
make this happen but these are just details that we can work together
on.

I am also aware of several other solutions and hope that these vendors
and individuals will decide to contribute as well. I'm looking forward
to see this moving forward!

Regards,
Luka
