Excuse me for posting this here, but this is from news.com. It basically says CWIX.NET gets the whole shooting match. Layer and all.

Not quite. The joint press release (from MCI: http://www.mci.com/news-news/headline-896341261.shtml ; from C&W: http://www.cwplc.com/press/1998/p98may28.htm ) both state that Initially, MCI will provide the underlying telecommunications transport services supporting the Cable & Wireless backbone and will provide additional services as required by Cable & Wireless.
