Pat,RE: MCI/WCOM : " Call GAICO insurance ". However I do have some comments and questions:
"outages on about 15 percent of its network ,70,000 customers such as the Chicago Board of Trade, Internet service providers, banks and other businesses.'
Comment:Dat's a lotta people Pat.
disgruntled customers.
Comm: and they are not happy campers.
"We have nothing to give them. We have customers that are totally down...they're getting pounded by AT&T (sales people), they are getting solicited and we can't respond because the network is still down.
Comment: where I can from, these ( resellers ) are now what we call sitting ducks.
AT&T:"We are not aggressively marketing or targeting MCI customers...but we are accepting customer calls and trying to put networks back up,"
Comment: AT&T sounds like Bill C: " I had no sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky". It worked for him, do you think it will work for AT&T? ::-))
MCI WorldCom said the problem was due to a software glitch in products supplied by its vendor Lucent Technologies Inc.
Comment: " The Repubblicans made me do it. "
And,,, in a more serious note:AT&T, the leader in high-speed data services such as frame relay and ATM (asynchronous transfer mode).
Question: Who supplies AT&T with these ATM "asynchronous transfer mode " switches, that makes it " the leader "?
(anybody can answer ).
And one more question:
Is all this going to make NN pop soon?
MCI WorldCom's rivals, such as AT&T Corp. and Qwest Communications International Inc. , said they have picked up many of these unhappy customers
( this one requires a somewhat heavier amount of thought process ).
A clue: NN went up and QWST went down today: a portent of things to come?
(back later)
