Re: CCIE numbers?

Hi Jay.
What I heard about 30K figure is back in May 2009 when on one of the
official RS podcasts Cisco said there was a lack of CCIEs worldwide by
roughly 30 000 certified individuals (meaning extra to those existing
ones) and that would be Cisco's aim to increase numbers whilst keeping
exam integrity.

Cheers
A.
