Anyone have any ideas, speculation, or info on how adverse future of WCOM would play out for ISPs and such? Among other things, WCOM is the preferred provider of long-haul pipes for DoD.....that can't be good!! just curious rick
For that and other reasons, Wcom will be bailed out, at taxpayer expense if necessary, for national security reasons. At 18:19 6/26/02 -0400, you wrote:

Yeah.... OK... I am going to break an NDA and disclose.... ( Drum roll please.....) The -=Secret=- Formula for "There can only be ONE!" [Label A:] Pull back peering from adjacent competitors.... Thus Forcing smaller competitors into Financial Difficulty .... (Due to lack of peering, and an ever increasing Monkey...) Then, acquire them at Bankruptcy for Pennies on a Dollar.... (Ka-CHING!) After acquisition, Pull back all -=their=- peering.... Thus closing the loop.. If (Competitors != NULL) goto [Label A:]; And finally, in the end, declare Bankruptcy yourself. Great Strategy! ... What! :O It worked for THEM! :P Scott Weeks wrote:
