Seems like it. Compare:
<http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:www.mae.net/FDDI/east.map.htm>
...to:
<http://www.mae.net/FDDI/east.map.htm>
and note the absence of giga3 and 7.
Of course, this doesn't provide an accurate list of people connected
to the MAE FDDI using non-Worldcom-maintained switches. And there's
always the possibility that some of this decrease can be attributed to
service providers, not Worldcom, pulling the plug on their MAE FDDI
connections.
That said, I do find this mildly interesting.
