I hadn't seen the C&W news before you posted. They quoted IXNet, an NN customer: From NN homepage: mainstreetxpress.com NEW YORK, New York and KANATA, Ontario, August 4, 1998 -- IXnet, a New York-based network service provider, today announced that it has selected Newbridge Networks to install its first asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network that will enable IXnet to meet its customers' demand for sophisticated multimedia services, such as Liquidity - an extranet for distributing independent on-line trading applications and market data to financial institutions around the world. IXnet's core business includes a global network that links hundreds of banks, brokerage houses, and other financial firms throughout the world. The company has traditionally offered its customers a wide range of services, from managed private lines to complex private network solutions, such as "hoot-and-holler" networks which provide open phone connections between groups of traders in cities around the world. The increased demand from IXnet's customers to have access to more high-speed, advanced applications that combine text, video, graphics and voice services has grown exponentially, resulting in the need to deploy a high-speed, ATM multi-services platform. And this on C&W: newbridge.com . . . Newbridge is supplying Cable & Wireless Communications with a technological solution, based on the 3600 MainStreet Bandwidth Manager, for its new voice and data services linking 241 key financial centers across 17 European cities. Good synergies. Thanks for posting --- Pat
