ACCC/CLEC: susie, I believe ACCC became Rochester Tel, which became Frontier (FRO) - not a bad run. CLEC is one of several CLECs (Competitive Local Exchange Carriers that were positively mentioned in I believe Thursday's Heard on the Street Column in WSJ. Talk of how SBC will have to expand into other areas to comply with terms of the merger agreement between SBC/AIT. CLEC, HYPT, and NXLK were three that were mentioned specifically in that column. a few others were mentioned. I am also becoming increasingly interestd in Paul Allen's wired world. there is a thread on SI now, plus www.paulallen.com he has HSAC, ZANY, and many others, plus the biggie of course is Charter Comm, which is not yet public. When it does come public, look out. It is now the 4th largest cable company and has a visionary, capable, entrepeneural, and rich person behind it. OT - saw a sign in a store: "think of all the women on the titanic who passed on the desert tray" hmmmm. larry |
