At the traffic level the above three are running, the savings may not be that much. Plus, instead of two links, one to MCI and one to UUNET, now the customer needs just one (MAYBE bigger) connection to this new provider. This is potentially a big loss in revenue.
Large customer who have a connection into say MCI and UUNet will just get a connection into Worldcom and some other backbone provider. So yes I think it will be a loss of revenue, but I think the customers will move the other connection.
BTW, Gridnet is old Worldcom network, and is never merged with UUNET.
Heheheh, ya there are big reasons for this. -Nathan
