Anyone want to tackle the CEO of LVLT, Jim Crowe, comments in a letter to GG about TSIX?: -- You state that 360Networks "has lit 10,000 of its 20,000 route miles with 160 Nortel/Avanex waves at 10 Gbps per second." We understand that such equipment will not be available until late 2001 and thus no service provider could have lit a network with Nortel equipment operating at that capacity. -- You state that "360 has announced a new system from NKF Kabel that uses compressed air to insert 'mini ducts' in already filled fiber conduits." We understand that the product must be installed in empty conduits. This means companies wishing to use the product in long haul applications must have empty conduits along the whole length of their networks. Today, we believe that there are only twelve empty nationwide conduits and Level 3 has eleven of them. Neither of the companies you cite as potential beneficiaries of the technology has continuous empty conduits along the length of their networks and thus would, at best, have a "patch quilt" implementation.
