Sorry, but I can't find a Worldcom press release anywhere. I don't feel
right cutting and pasting the entire article, but the location is slated to
be Dallas.
(BTW, isn't it scandalous that MFS would copy the PacBell NAP and build a
MAE using S'com BPX switches? I went back and checked the nanog archives
and compiled a list of all the ISPs that swore they would never connect to
an ATM NAP. How many are planning to disconnect from the MAEs when the ATM
switches come up?)
