Hmmm....I thought for long time Ebbers & WCOM believed that the wireless space was a MUST niche that WCOM had to be involved in. The street pressured WCOM to head in that direction so they could be a total solution provider. Then they tried to buy Nextel and and everyone gasped! The street wanted wireless not BoD. It, like the spin-off, was a bad decision that is now being corrected.

telecomguy, are you reselling VoIP minutes on your international routes? Also, would you happen to know if WCOM's domestic NP uses packet voice, as opposed to circuit switched, be it ATM (a la Passport's) or IP (whoever's)? I've been hearing rumblings that at least two IXCs are planning to roll out IP voice to broadband users over cable modem and dsl, and to regular POTS customers via gateways, thus circumventing the last mile hostage situation along with the call termination fees (assuming their gateways are located optimally in calling- and called- party markets). TIA, FAC
