It's is C&W's policy to allow a reasonable amount of time for renumbering. The policy that was in place when MCI's "logo" was on the network remains the same. Customers can work out the details by sending email to ipadmin@cw.net. Ron Stear

About four weeks ago, before the InternetMCI->C&W sale was finalized, the policy was that MCI customers would have up to six months (as per RFC 2050 and generally accepted good practices) at such time the network space would be returned to MCI's pool.
