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. -- --bill

If they can pull this inter-lata connection off without involving an IXC, they would be selling long distance services immediately rather than NAP services ;-) I understand PacBell will be ready to provide inter-lata service early next year. --pushpendra Pushpendra Mohta pushp@cerf.net +1 619 455 3908 Director, CERFnet http://www.cerf.net +1 619 455 3995 (FAX)
