Without criticizing one of its competitors, MCI's vice president of Internet engineering, Vint Cerf, today said all providers need to improve the redundancy of their data networks to prevent problems like this and bring them up to the reliability standards of the public switched telephone networks in the next year. Not only do providers need to make their own networks redundant, but they need to provide backup systems among themselves, Cerf said. This is exactly what I was hoping would come out of this fiasco. It's obviously a problem of too much data going over inadequate equipment and what better statement could be made? Maybe this is the real reason CIEN went up so sharply today. It's fairly well known they're working together and yet nothing's been announced, at least not to my knowledge. What's NN's status with T? I'm guessing this will help the whole sector. Later -- Pat
