Hi Kingsley,
This problem is affecting all lab locations. We are full booked for mostly
all lab locations worldwide.
We are working 1) to offer more seats at the full time lab locations such
San Jose, Raleigh (RTP), Brussels and Beijing; 2) to turn the part-time lab
locations such Sydney, Hong Kong, Dubai, Bangalore, Sao Paulo to a full time
labs; and 3) to open more lab locations.
This is part of a big plan and we forecast you will see the lab seats
offering become less painful on early 2008.
Regards,
Maurilio
