Reading over the C&W announcement again, I think it's significant that they're validating NN's IP solution: "Newbridge has been awarded this contract over its competitors because of its ability to provide a flexible and comprehensive solution for delivering fully-managed services across a wide range of traffic types," said David Wickham, Chief Executive Officer, Cable & Wireless Global Network. "Our network will be capable of handling premium-quality Internet protocol (IP), voice, video, and data services, including virtual private networks (VPNs) and native cell relay services." Pat
