and for my next trick.... imagine if tomorrow, someone came to you and told you to change your domain name on every piece of equipment in your network, tease apart years of interconnection with your parent company, etc... in other words, ignore the semantics, it's the thought that counts.

Folks,

In the interest of the free flow of useful and correct information with regard to the divestiture of internetMCI, please do not believe anything you hear, rather feel free to ask. There are a number of ex-MCI'ers listening and we'll be happy to debunk rumors from whatever source. Basic rule, if it came from anything but a 'cw.net' address ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

please ask before you jump in.
