Pac Bell has announced their LA NAP is operational. Contact and details below.

Is there not already a MAE-LA? Why would thay have an LA NAP if even MAE-LA hasn't taken off as of yet?

Just a question.

Yes, there is. I would expect that the NAP service is offering is an extention of the existing BayArea service. This approach reduces the cost of entry of entry for people you are in the So.Cal. area to a local loop charge. It appears that thye believe that a "distributed" service is more effective than two seperate exchanges.

As far as I know, PacBell wouldn't be permitted to extend PVCs between the LA NAP and the SF NAP -matthew kaufman matthew@scruz.net
