I would assume WCOM's competitors are smaller and also have financial problems of their own.

Size of competitors depends on what part of WCOM/MCIT's business you're talking about, but most are large companies with plenty of debt and yes, most competitors are getting beat up as well.

If anyone can come up with a significant sector where the competition is big, highly profitable and relatively debt free, do share.

As for customer attitudes, I'd think most realize that the risk of service interruptions resulting from financial issues, even in BK, is infinitely more remote than BK itself. I think this question came up in the CC the other day - at least as conveyed to the thread by others.

Regards,
Bob
