Only after 5 years or so the whole Service Provider Operation Program is being retired! From associate evel up.
The last day to test for the CCIE Service Provider Operations certification will be January 31, 2015. No new certifications will be issued beginning February 1, 2015.
so hurry up and pass this cert! or not 
I think this was a big waste of money and resource by cisco. someone got bored and came up with scheme to make money. The idea of separating the Service Provider track into SP and SP operations was ridicules. there is not much of a difference in OPs and SP material that it would justify a separate certification track.
Does anyone know somone who passed CCIE SP Operations cert?
