Hi Jack, Looks like someone was unhappy with that story. It no longer appears in the roster of new stories at Lightreading. Nor does it come up on a search of the site. I would say that the story has been yanked. Probably too negative a piece, this close to the Corvis IPO. Someone doesn't want to cause any level of skepticism with the retail investor, would be my guess. Here's another brief mention of the same field trial, which is between Phoenix and El Paso. FWIW, the actual route distance is closer to 600Km than 3200Km. lightreading.com Broadwing Completes Corvis Trial AUSTIN, TX -- Broadwing Communications, a wholly owned subsidiary of Broadwing Inc. (NYSE: BRW), announced today that it is the first company to begin commercial deployment of Corvis' all-optical network technology after today's successful completion of the industry's first all-optical network field trial. The successful completion of this field trial along an extended fiber route will enable Broadwing to be the first to fully deploy an end-to-end all-optical network. For the trial, Broadwing deyployed Corvis' commercially available, leading-edge, all-optical network products on its Phoenix to El Paso route to test the capabilities of the technology. An overlay of Corvis' technology on Broadwing's nationwide network is planned for completion by year-end. broadwing.com corvis.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I find it of interest that I had a similar experience at the Street.com last week. Jim Seymour wrote a colorful and damning piece about Pac Bell's roll out of DSL in the land of fruits and nuts. It stayed on the front page of theStreet.com for less than 4 hours, and was subsequently not searchable. Seems that you can step on someone's toes and get a reaction. <g>
