I disagree that the CW/PSI mess is unique. My analysis leads me to think
that it might be a foreshadowing. Many of the mid-tier ISPs, and some of the
larger ones, are over-extended on growth and short on revenue. They were
caught by surpise, just as much as the rest of us, when the dot-com market
tanked. That sucking sound you hear is the rest of us being dragged in.
Those of us that have enough bank-cash to hold onto and sufficient revenue
to resist the pull, will be successful.

I don't want to get into this conversation, but I will clarify my words.
When I said unique, I was thinking about "tier-1" and "default-free"
networks going belly up. If it isn't unique, I think we probably have
bigger problems to deal with then router memory.
