Russia, Iraq, North Korea, or who ever is the designated rogue country
this week probably has a copy; but us network engineers aren't allowed
to see it.

The NCS supposedly has a database showing all AT&T, MCI, Sprint and LEC
fiber routes in the country so when the Pentagon orders diverse circuits
to a missle silo, they know if it is really diverse.

But that doesn't help for the new carriers, with cheap bandwidth, which
much of the Internet seems to use.
