<..I now view those earlier decisions as a certain amount of license that they needed to exercise in order to allow for transitioning..> Issues we have discussed before. And as you say, they curiously continue to sound the pure-IP horn, so I suspect they are designing their network with this as an end-state - considered by many (including a vociferous Grubman) a VERY risky proposition. <..Returning to WMB, are there any good public docs that you can point me to that are more revealing about their strategy than what appears on the surface?...> None I have ready access to. My sources have been some lines of communication to their network engineers, and as I've said, I have been impressed. If I come across anything worthwhile, I'll send it along. Given the high profile nature of the SBC deal which I question the likelihood of FCC 271 relief on (I'm not active on the WMB thread, but I'll post Reingold's comments when I get a chance), I suspect the press will be tuning in to WMB soon enough.
