As an ISP, BBN may be peering with MCI(the ISP), but I too had the Understanding that Some of BBN's fiber was leased from MCI(the telco?). Anyone else with insight ?
I think the day is long gone when any meaningful insight can be gained by looking at this kind of thing. It is entirely possible that SprintLink is leasing MCI T3's and InternetMCI is leasing Sprint T3's and that both of the T3's are running in the same fibre bundle owned by Worldcom. The three layers, IP services, digital data service, and dark fiber, are getting rather intertwingled and this doesn't even take into account usage of frame networks or ATM networks. I'm not implying anything specific by naming the three companies above, just that it is not very easy to find out where a particular IP provider gets their service and it is hard to extrapolate anything useful from that information if you did know it.
