MichNet's agreement is with MCI. I can't speak about deals others may have with Sprint. I think it is unlikely that Sprint got any Interregional Connectivity money, however. That money went to regional networks. Those networks may be spending some of the NSF funds with Sprint. The agreements that came from NSF along with the money imposed requirements on the regional networks and not directly on the NSPs. It is up to the regional networks to pass those requirements on to their NSP and I'd think it was up to the regional networks and not NSF to see that the NSPs follow the requirements. Sprint is a funny beast in this discussion because they are both an NSP and a NAP operator (and still the International Connections Manager?), but I think the recent discussion has been talking about NSPs and not NAP operators. -Jeff Ogden Merit
