I believe this is your first post in the FAST Protocol Forum. May I suggest that you summarize your concerns. I'd be happy to take part in a discussion on the shortcomings of FAST and what, if anything, we can do to improve the current standard.
A lot of people that have been involved for some time seem to be happy with the protocol as is, so you may be able to provide a fresh perspective.
Let us know what you think.
