Whoever runs sales can now answer renewal haggles for you, each in their own way: switch it on at the sales desk. The engineer keeps nerdy customers at the market price and gives everyone else their discount, the shark refuses discounts and some customers walk, and the CEO settles it on the golf course, for better or worse.
The three interns now each have something they are best at: Anycast Annie peers every day and orders PNIs twice a week, Kevin from the night shift swaps two line systems a night and never fat-fingers anything, and Tracy Route buys capacity as if traffic were already 10% higher. They run the same orders at the same salary.
Your intern can upgrade optical transport: a new standing order moves full, busy fiber to a bigger line system, or trades its smallest channels for bigger optics. Pick a line system, and every fiber on a smaller one is moved up to it. A line system swap takes the fiber down for a day, so the intern only does it where the traffic gets around it and no customer rides it, one a night.
Your intern can standardize your routers on a model you choose: pick it in Keep routers ahead, and every POP on a smaller model is swapped to it, the busiest first, within the monthly budget. Every setting in the Standing orders sheet is now a list to pick from instead of a button to tap through.
France gets seven more cities: Lyon, Toulouse, Lille, Bordeaux, Strasbourg, Rennes and Nantes, all but Nantes with an exchange of their own (#288). SF-Error Telecom and Boy-Egg Telecom bring home broadband and mobile, Ov-Hatch Cloud and Scale-Away bring French clouds, Tangerine Telecom and Free as in Beer reach the new cities, Cogentle reaches Toulouse, Lille, Bordeaux and Strasbourg, and Andorable Telecom comes up to Toulouse. The Atlantic cables now come ashore where they really do: Ami-Tea at Bordeaux and Dunno-ant at Nantes, and Dunno-ant starts at Virginia Beach.
Big networks at ×8 no longer stop for a moment when a day reroutes, after a failure, an event, the intern's shift or the sales desk's signing. Every routing a day needs now runs in the background like the day's own, a long day lets the map draw between its steps, and the check for customers afraid of sharks no longer walks every land fiber for each of them. Quiet notifications now also apply while the game is running.
