Christopher, I've read the entire Sprint press release on its new ION network architecture, and associated systems. If this is the reason PAIR is down, I would be very surprised. The (Sprint) news is a blatantly over-hyped ad campaign, giving a fancy new name to a group of service offerings and associated technologies, along with calculated name-dropping of existing technologies (ATM) and a lot of hype about new bandwidth capabilities in the next 2 years (which any carrier with a fiber network can duplicate by upgrading to new muxers). If, in fact, this is the reason PAIR is down, I'll be jumping on it in a big way. However, I'm of the opinion that there could be some genuine bad news out there, so, until the real reason is revealed, its probably prudent to do nothing. Regards, Knip
