Serry, Speaking of NT, LU is no competition to them when it comes to making switches. NT makes the finist switches of them all. All of NYC and NJ are NT switching equipment. LU still has a long way to go when it comes to this. Don't get me wrong, I love LU but ATT(LU) hasn't mastered this yet like NT(Yes I work for them). Fli-by(Long on LU)

Agreed, no monopoly here. We have a captive audience still in AT&T, but that's to be expected. But even they are not buying 100% of their network equipment from us. Example: they chose someone else for a big contract to provide additional T1 capacity on the long distance network since theirs is bursting at the seams. Actually the breakup was good for us, we get to sit back and watch the combatants wrestle with the courts in the LEC/Long Distance arena, while we sell our networks to any and all buyers. I think since divestiture we haven't had a monopoly really -- that was the whole idea. Yes, this administration hates the successful people of the world, but they far outnumber the losers in politics, and I'm not worried for a second. My company is going to kick big time and we've got the people to do it. Nothing is going to stand in our way.
