Doesn't Sprint plan on offering an ATM service, and doesn't MFS Datanet provide an ATM backbone service?
It is prudent for a company as large as Sprint to diversify its product offerings. If customers want ATM it will be provided :-) This approach may be more costly but it guarantees survival in case if a fatal flaw was uncovered in the technology after it was deployed; it is also useful to offer "one-stop-shopping" for customers who want, for example, X.25, voice and Internet access. --vadim
