GBH, good post, but read the FINE PRINT.

Most notable, which is really a positive comment for NN's technology:

...the company's move to take the MCI ATM
network out of commission comes with another
consequence: the apparent flight of former MCI ATM
specialists to equipment companies, such as
Newbridge and FORE Systems, as well as to carriers
and service-support organizations.

One such former employee complains that
WorldCom's ATM backbone "lacks sufficient
capacity" to handle the combined companies' traffic.
He says he left because the decision shows "the
company's sacrificing quality for the sake of cost, and
I didn't want my name associated with it."

When employees jump ship because of that strong a belief in technology, it makes one question the leadership of implementing such change, against the advise (feeling) of the experts in field that deal with the network on a day to day basis. In a word : POLITICS.
