How about your password to access this? Or were you quoting the entire article? Where will this MAE-Central be located?
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?)

Its particuarlly bad that MFS starts this when they already have a MAE-Dallas based on their standard cisco platforms. The local ISPs put together an alternative interconnect to reduce costs and MFS comes out with this shit. I know one company that isn't going to be doing any new business with MFS/Worldcom. --- Jeremy Porter, Freeside Communications, Inc. jerry@fc.net PO BOX 80315 Austin, Tx 78708 | 1-800-968-8750 | 512-458-9810 http://www.fc.net
