Only the beginning Juniper exam is free, so let's not go off the deep end
here. They're still $1,250 for the labs! M-series has two of those...
ER-Series has only one.

Subject: OT: Cisco Raises Prices - Juniper for Free... Hmmm.... Who's gonna
win?
Exactly what is the "increased" value to test takers?
Somebody help me here...
Another $150.00 per attempt...
Pretty STEEP.
And where's the 6 months notice.
It's like I went to sleep last night, checked my mail and on September 8th I
found out that the price increase was on Spet 7, 2007...
Pretty shoddy....
Did this come up at Networkers in July at least...?
Funny - some exams went up like 5% - from $300.00 to $315.00
Others went up from 25% - from $125.00 to $150.00 like
640-801
And the lab jumped like 12% or so by $150.00
Any one else steamed?
Explain the added value? Why are not all exams going up...
Well, I guess one can always study Cisco, but not take the exams at all.
I mean how impressive one might appear to be if one knows the IOS pretty
decently and does NOT even hold a CCIE, CCNP, or CCNA...
Lots of jobs do not necessarily require certification at all.
Most of my previous jobs have not required certification - so I wonder
where's the added value?
What motivates a seasoned veteran to hang on... paper holds anything?
Did they add more questions?
