Grace, Bell South does follow those standards. The Bellsouth network that SCMR is doing business with is not a core network. It is a small edge network that Desh and Dan sold Cascade equipment to over the past several years. Are the competitors of SCMR single threading their approach? No. They are selling products to cash strapped CLECs, new network builders and foreign networks just like SCMR. Getting approved for deployment in an OSMINE network does not take a full 3 years to do as has been mentioned. One start-up company, Astralpoint (a member of the ODSI), started the OSMINE process in August and has already received CLEI codes. Testing will begin in 2001.

I am not arguing that the little and new guys on the block will use the equipment. With concerns about cash running rampant for the likes of Williams, probably 360 networks in a year and most of the CLECs, why not hedge the bet be able to supply equipment to the big guys.

The RBOCs are dinasaurs that are not going to change. SCMR is avoiding that market by not complying. BellSouth's core network needs OSMINE compliance, as does SBC, Verizon, etc. Those are nice customers to have that NT, CIEN, ALA etc are selling to.
