Scott asks: So this is to imply that you do have a problem w/ Sprint and that you are picking on them in a specific way? COOK: your suggestion scott not mine....... If I remember correctly on my one previous querry 6 weeks ago, the problem seemed to be more MCI's than sprints. I am in the midst of writing a long cover story on how backbones are responding to internet growth pressure and when something breaks I am interest in understanding what happened. It looks in this case however like people want me to yell on the sprint outage list rather than here so I'll check out the possibility of doing that. Do you guys have an outtage list I can join? My apologies if I have offended anyone. ******************************************************************** Gordon Cook, Editor & Publisher Subscript.: Individ-ascii $85 The COOK Report on Internet Non Profit. $150 431 Greenway Ave, Ewing, NJ 08618 Small Corp & Gov't $200 (609) 882-2572 Corporate $350 Internet: cook@cookreport.com Corporate.
