Amazing, really a good news! Every Companies need to change their decisions about btc payment.Hope more and more companies will follow..
Good on you for taking the initiative to propose Bitcoin to the higher ups. That is something I hope pays off in the long run for both you and the company you work for. I also completely understand not saying who you work for and associating the forum account with the company is smart IMO.
If he already knew about bitcoin then your impact was likely very small, but you rather just confirmed that he knows about bitcoin. If a lot of customers were asking about your store accepting bitcoin then it would be a different story.
wow, really good news!
Please, give us more details about the company interested on Bitcoin 
We all want to know it!

Cool! CEO's who are open to welcome new technology such as Bitcoin will be a big step ahead of the competitors that aren't interested in renewing.

is there such a thing as a soft troll?
(~or do we want those?)
this post seems staged
no?

no?
I'm not trolling and this is not staged! the CEO works in my building and I've ran into him several times in the elevator but never had the balls to ask him about BTC.
An all hands meetings on the other hand is a perfect time to ask these types of questions. Granted I didn't ask the question during the QA session since I wasn't sure what his reaction would be.
So I just waited for the QA session to be over and when people started walking out of the room, i just went up to him and asked.
still no reply :/
I am a network guy and I work for a company that used to be one of the internet pioneers. Recently however, we have been sidestepped by other companies a bit, but we are still around and trying to turn things around with new software that frankly is pretty awesome. Anyway, we had an all hands meeting the other day and after the meeting I went up to our CEO and asked him what's his opinion on taking BTC as a form of payment. I was expecting a very short answer that was negative, and to my surprise it was completely the opposite. He seemed very interested and asked me question after question about mining, MT GOX, alt-coins etc. We spoke for a bout 5 minutes and afterwards he told me to send an email to some of the guys way up on the pole and CC him, which I did! I'm SO EXCITED! I feel like i just asked a girl out to prom 
and she said welll.... maybe LULZ.
and she said welll.... maybe LULZ. very impressed with you're describing. it gives a good big influence to all users of bitcoin.
especially in the country where you work. This may be an inspiration to others
This is good for bitcoins because it means that the adoption is spreading among all the major and minor companies, the future is really bright 
Yes, future is bright but still is long way to go.
Bitcoin will not become global currency overnight.
A lot hard work and promotion is needed...
I wonder if this has something to do with the dumping in China?
This a good news for bitcoin. Great work OP.

Interesting! Very good to see a company presumably involved with the backend of networking also interested in Bitcoin. I also see Bitcoin more as a protocol that works in the back, much like TCP/IP for instance. Keep us posted!!!
