LVLT-CTR(Oxygen) Visionaries and all that--

Hi Scott--
Agree on the LVLT vision- I know some of the actual folks who are
doing the visionary implementation--pretty impressive bunch.

As for CTR/Oxygen-- The "turf" comment relates to the interworkings
of a group the size of Project Oxygen-- Carriers evrywhere and they
all have to agree cause it is their $$. Just imagine SPRINT, MCI
ATT coming together to agree on a new US-wide continental fiber
infrastructure and agreeing on how it should be done ;-) The
management aspects of CTR would seem, to me, to be quite complex.
Remember, it is just not dark fiber--It is an ATM/SONET provisioned
infrastructure-- To me, it might work like the ATM Forum and folks
may not want to even use that technology.==turf issues

This is where the QWST's and the LVLT's are at their finest ;-)) IMHO

Also glad you like Vint Cerf. I know of no one place to find all his
thoughts-- The guy works for a living in the industry and once in a
while, he is interviewed or speaks at a conference, to give his
working view of what we are into--from the trenches inside.

Stay in touch- Curt...
