Interesting sales pitch by PacBell. However, the article is littered with technical inaccuracies and claims not entirely true. For instance, Sprint's NAP, which was operational in 3Q94 had virtual connections to every Sprint POP in the U.S. by way of its nationwide ATM service. In addition, which ISPs are lined up to take advantage of PacBell's 622 Mbps ports by year's end? Which routers will they use? ss At 12:43 9.4.96, Stephen Balbach wrote:
