RE: Attacks Expose Telephone's Soft Underbelly

[Steve Goldstein <sgoldste () nsf gov>]

I was told by a Qwest senior officer that Qwest initially restored 
some service in lower Manhattan with line-of-sight laser Rx/Tx links. 
We at NSF use such a rooftop-rooftop link to get our ISP service from 
Qwest which happens to be catty-corner across the street from us.
