Peppe --

You're right on MCI/WCOM's deplorable lag in addressing the outages.

You're also right about speed/service/manageability issues. Imagine racing a Ferrari without brakes--- or experienced pit crew?

As for tomorrow's earnings, I think most are expecting NN to meet. I'm quite sure the co's kept a lid on any upside expectations. That's not to say it won't happen. Only that they didn't want to step into a noose of someone else's making.

I'll be extremely pleased if they meet the top line and beat by a penny or two on the bottom.

Fingers crossed ---

Pat

<<What astounded me the most on the recent MCI failure was that it took 10 days to fix the problem.>>

Not only that, but the 'fix' was to go back to the earlier version of the software. Moving in the newest version is still in the future - and who knows - may repeat the failure..
