>>Do you follow this one? (Allegiance)<<
No, Don... I came across them in a number of articles, and found their site here in SI, but not following them, per se. I would find it interesting to see how this plethora of new CLEC entities compete, not only with the ILECs, but with each other, and with the emerging characteristics of the Internet itself, over time, given the fact that early saturation can take place for those who don't differentiate themselves somehow. It's getting very crowded out there, and the fact that some of these companies claim to have multi-regional or full-scale national presence doesn't mean anything to me until the pay checks are handed out. LVLT falls into a different category, though, in case someone is reading this out of context. They, I'm certain, will differentiate themselves adequately, in comparison to the the template players (the me-toos) now coming out of the gate. I don't know where Allegiance falls into the picture yet, though.
