I disagree that the CW/PSI mess is unique. My analysis leads me to think that it might be a foreshadowing. Many of the mid-tier ISPs, and some of the larger ones, are over-extended on growth and short on revenue. They were caught by surpise, just as much as the rest of us, when the dot-com market tanked. That sucking sound you hear is the rest of us being dragged in. Those of us that have enough bank-cash to hold onto and sufficient revenue to resist the pull, will be successful.
I don't want to get into this conversation, but I will clarify my words. When I said unique, I was thinking about "tier-1" and "default-free" networks going belly up. If it isn't unique, I think we probably have bigger problems to deal with then router memory. andy
