The troubling part about BCE's move is that it may signal a surplus of network capacity brought online by numerous long-haul bandwidth players. These megacarriers like Level 3 (LVLT:Nasdaq - news), 360Networks (TSIX:Nasdaq - news) and Williams Communications (WCG:NYSE - news) are now eagerly seeking ways to sell services, which will in turn help repay debt taken on to defray construction costs.

Pay TSIX to provision today, where will your money be tomorrow? Just a thought. MartinT
