I was wondering if anybody out there had any insight into how functionally integrated once seperate networks become when two telcos merge or one telco buys anothers network. I was looking at a recently publiched map of Cable and Wireless's new network, since the purchase of MCI's network as an off shoot of the MCIWorldCom merger, and the map did not seem to include C&W's old network topology. In fact it seemed pretty close to being the old MCI network back when they released the topology and things were not top secret. The question is what will become of the old C&W network, will it be functionally integrated within routing tables and meshed with the MCI network or operate as a seperate privately peered network. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sean Gorman University of Florida Department of Geography
