Here is the press release. Note the wording of "foreign international telecommunications carrier". If it was a US based carrier I believe they would have said "North American Carrier" thus my thinking is a European telco. And with the BT/MCI mess I suspect BT may be interested. Time will tell - and indeed if it is any major carrier it will be a real coupe.
