sigh.......my point Scott was only to wonder if the worldnet outtage was in anyway related to last night's MCI problem????? Apparently it was not.... which is fine. I am curious if anyone outside AT&T was aware. believe me if i had a phone number for their NOC I would have called. ************************************************************************ The COOK Report on Internet For subsc. pricing & more than 431 Greenway Ave, Ewing, NJ 08618 USA ten megabytes of free material (609) 882-2572 (phone & fax) visit http://pobox.com/cook/ Internet: cook@cookreport.com On line speech of critics under attack by Ewing NJ School Board, go to http://pobox.com/cook/sboard.shtml ************************************************************************ On Sat, 12 Apr 1997, Scott Bradner wrote:

Understanding that Some of BBN's fiber was leased from MCI

so, what is your point?

it would seem a bit rational for any ISP to get service (btw that is service not fibers, there ain't may fibers for rent) from who they get a good deal & who go to the places that they want to go

there is no reason to read anything more into it, just because you bought a Sony TV does that mean something special about your relationship to Sony?
