"By the end of 2000, SBC plans to install the gateways in more than 9,000 neighborhoods."

Denis- I'm trying to figure out who's doing SBC's work for them as verification SBC is proceeding according to plan. As you may know I follow the brain/brawn companies fairly closely. Their are a couple I don't follow closely. But for the ones I do, here are their top customers:

IFCI- Cablevision, AT&T, PF.net, Cox
DY- Bellsouth, AT&T, Comcast, Sprint, Williams, US West
ARGX- MediaOne, AT&T, Time Warner
MTZ- Charter, GTE, Sprint, Time Warner, RCN

I've heard Dycom mention getting SBC Pronto business four months ago, but upon talking to them this past week, SBC doesn't even appear on their top ten list.

Anyhow, it's curious how much press Project Pronto gets, yet I can't seem to figure out who's building it. Do you or anyone else know? I suppose it could be an internal job, but that is one huge project to try to do internally. -MikeM(From Florida)
