The points below are a revision of the original Broadwing Summary posted at NANOG. As mentioned below, these points are unconfirmed any information on inaccuracies are welcome. Of note: The items listed below aren't "bad" or "good". If there is any slant towards a good or bad, it's because we focus on colocation and web farming and there are certain key points that we look out for in a NSP for our organization. So here is the revised summary of "factoids" (notice, not facts but *factoids*): 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 <DELETE: No MAE peering. Only private peering.> ## REVISED MAE peering does exist. 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 <DELETE: Resells dial-up service for Ziplink > ## REVISED Ziplink out of the picture. Best to all. Let me know if anything else doesn't ring true. Flaming isn't necessary here, even though some wont feel that their day is complete unless they do [but that's what delete keys are for, eh?] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Best regards, Karyn Ulriksen Director of Network Operations PublicHost, A SiteStream Company 22 Mauchly, Suite 200 Irvine, California 92618 USA Phone: (949) 743-2000 email: kulriksen@publichost.com URL: http://www.publichost.com ===========================================
