Well this will be short.
MCI fiber outage in California - says it all. Where's the beef ?
I am sorry - Where's the backup ?
MCI the carrier that the folks at the NSF feel able to handle the vBNS is
down and out again, while not in th Beverly Hills, down for the count.
And these people are going to get the high profile of the Superhighway ?
I agree with Brock Meeks in his response to Doug at Digex,,,,there is
alot of PR, Free advertising at stake here ! Not just the 50 million bucks.
