Plus, instead of two links, one to MCI and one to UUNET, now the customer needs just one (MAYBE bigger) connection to this new provider. This is potentially a big loss in revenue.Large customer who have a connection into say MCI and UUNet will just get a connection into Worldcom and some other backbone provider. So yes I think it will be a loss of revenue, but I think the customers will move the other connection.BTW, Gridnet is old Worldcom network, and is never merged with UUNET.Heheheh, ya there are big reasons for this. -Nathan
