Per Request, I'm going to go ahead and list a summary of the points regarding my request for reference about Broadwing. It's sure to draw fire and I apologize to *everybody* for that in advance. The following list is not fully comfirmed, however, the points have been re-iterated on several occasion among the sixty or so emails that I have received regard my request for a reference: Tier-2 Network shooting for Tier-1 Merger between IXC and Cincinatti Bell Originally focused as a LD voice network OC192 circuits focused for voice service Internet Peering structure still infant No MAE peering. Only private peering. One year old. Original COO moved to InterNAP. Similar staffing scenarios as GLBX. - Loss of Top & Mid Level Technical Staff - Staff churning in Sales & Tech Resells dial-up service for Ziplink Please feel free to point out any inaccuracies (I know you all will anyways).

Tier-2 Network shooting for Tier-1
Lord only knows what that means.
Merger between IXC and Cincinatti Bell
Yep.
Originally focused as a LD voice network
Who wasn't?
OC192 circuits focused for voice service
That'd be 129,000 voice paths, which is a lot. They are somewhat revolutionary with the Corvis deployment they are doing.
Internet Peering structure still infant
Everyone's peering is, all the time.
No MAE peering. Only private peering.
No. Wrong.
One year old.
IXC is quite older than one year.
Original COO moved to InterNAP.
Bad move, IMHO.
Similar staffing scenarios as GLBX.
This I don't know.
- Loss of Top & Mid Level Technical Staff
Who hasn't?
- Staff churning in Sales & Tech

Ok, I can see that.

While my statement was somewhat rhetorical, you could stretch the imagination with UU now being owned by what was once a LD reseller.
