I'm open to suggestion of alternate terms.

I only used the word "access" because, in my neighborhood, we've been 
calling our avatar-deploying customers "access networks" for years (and the 
boxes they deploy "access caches"). When I use the term around other 
companies in the "content layer" space, it has gained some acceptance. 
However, if it's going to only create chaos when I start to speak to 
someone who works with broadband, then I'm stuck.

There's a dearth of short, self-explanatory, technically correct, unused 
words. :)

Oh!!! Here's one. Wouldn't even need to change my acronym: "Avatar Content 
Network". All in favor, say nothing at all. :)
