CBOT still not fully functional. Has nothing to do with Chicago power outage. MCI network problems. Affecting global network. No broadcast media coverage of MCI problems. Only news services now. Haven't seen anything in a print publication though. Very interesting, huh?

Problems have been going on for 8 days with CBOT ....

"The outages affected about 15 percent of MCI WorldCom's network and an estimated 70,000 [business] customers such as the CBOT, Internet service providers, banks and other businesses that rely on high-speed frame relay networks to exchange large amounts of computer information in short and frequent bursts."

"The CBOT, the largest U.S. derivatives exchange, said Friday its electronic trading system, Project A, would remain shut until Sunday night when the exchange moves to its backup system indefinitely."

""Market users worldwide depend on Project A around the clock and MCI WorldCom has let them down for one full week."
