Pat,RE: MCI/WCOM : " Call GAICO insurance ". However I do have some comments and questions: "outages on about 15 percent of its network ,70,000 customers such as the Chicago Board of Trade, Internet service providers, banks and other businesses.' Comment:Dat's a lotta people Pat. disgruntled customers. Comm: and they are not happy campers. "We have nothing to give them. We have customers that are totally down...they're getting pounded by AT&T (sales people), they are getting solicited and we can't respond because the network is still down. Comment: where I can from, these ( resellers ) are now what we call sitting ducks. AT&T:"We are not aggressively marketing or targeting MCI customers...but we are accepting customer calls and trying to put networks back up," Comment: AT&T sounds like Bill C: " I had no sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky". It worked for him, do you think it will work for AT&T? ::-)) MCI WorldCom said the problem was due to a software glitch in products supplied by its vendor Lucent Technologies Inc. Comment: " The Repubblicans made me do it. " And,,, in a more serious note:AT&T, the leader in high-speed data services such as frame relay and ATM (asynchronous transfer mode). Question: Who supplies AT&T with these ATM "asynchronous transfer mode " switches, that makes it " the leader "? (anybody can answer ). And one more question: Is all this going to make NN pop soon? MCI WorldCom's rivals, such as AT&T Corp. and Qwest Communications International Inc. , said they have picked up many of these unhappy customers ( this one requires a somewhat heavier amount of thought process ). A clue: NN went up and QWST went down today: a portent of things to come?
