You know if Sprint is gutsy enough (maybe customer centered would be a better word?) to do this, why can't MCI? I had private mail today from a network manager at a major MCI customer lamenting that the MCI higher ups refused to allow MCI to show their customers this courtesy (creation of an MCI outtage list). Is this attitude part of what HWB was complaining about?

i dont' think anyone at mci is refusing to do this. we've had many customers and even non-customers ask for this and i've passed this on to management. i do believe mci's provisioning group is working on making this happen in the near future. it certainly is a good idea. (these comments do not necessarily reflect those of mci) -brett

outage-request@sprint.net I believe typically will subscribe anybody who's interested. There are several sizeable lists which are on the exploder here, so adding more probably is a non-issue.

Make that:
