Question for anyone re: IIXC
Per the Dec. 7, l998 news release at DCI's website (www.dcic.com),
"Under terms of the alliance, IXC will acquire a 13% ownership position in DCI, and DCI will be granted five-year leases to utilize specified IXC facilities to support its expanding long-distance and prepaid phone card business."
The link below, dated April 22, l999, that I posted yesterday, refers to IIXC's initial $25 million order to CIEN for "MultiWave(R) Sentry(TM) dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical transport systems for deployment in its nationwide high-speed fiber optic network."

Purely by coincidence (well, i like telecomms....what can i say?), I ran across this additional mention of IXC yesterday as well. From April 21, l999 first quarter results on Digital Lightwave (DIGL).
"During the first quarter, Digital Lightwave added several new customers, including Advanced Fibre Communications, CIENA and Gabriel Communications. Existing customers taking product deliveries during the quarter included Alcatel, Frontier Communications, Fujitsu, GTE Internetworking, IXC Communications, MCI WorldCom, and Nortel Networks."

My question is this: are the "SPECIFIED IXC FACILITIES" mentioned in the agreement between DCI & IXC possibly including these state-of-the-art facilities?
My HOPE is that the specified items include, AT THAT TIME, technology that IXC would utilize in the future. Anyone know for sure?
Thanks!!!!!!!
