<Guess I just can't help myself. The more you read of Koskinen, the stranger it gets> I know what you mean. Here's another classic excerpt from that Koskinen interview: Koskinen: "But in telecommunications, we know that 1500 small telephone companies - we increasingly have evidence that their problem will be, not that you won't be able to get dial tone, but that they won't be able to bill you if they haven't done [the remediation] right. And at some point that may put them out of business, but it won't affect you." The implication here is that large telecoms are AOK. Problems are primarily with small telephone companies. And, even with them ... it's a "billing" problem. LOL - Tell that to MCI's business network customers who's systems have been disrupted for 8 days! techstocks.com I'm not implying that the MCI/Lucent failure is Y2K related. I don't know what caused this, and neither does MCI or Lucent. Or, at least they haven't made it public. But there certainly are more problems and vulnerabilities with system upgrades and/or remediation ... than only billing. Cheryl
