I was told (going from memory, so I hope Steve will correct me) there was
a SNMP problem collecting stats on mae-west last fall.  Since MCI/Worldcom
is changing to a new statistics package, instead of fixing the old ones, the
new statistics should show up real soon.  But I guess like many software
projects its been delayed.

Because the stats from Ameritech and the MAE's are essentially the only
publically available measures of multi-provider Internet traffic, I hope
they come back.  Sprint & Pacbell/Bellcore used to have some stats, but all
the links I had have stopped working.  It would be nice to get some aggregate
numbers for private interconnects, but I guess it isn't a realistic dream.
