Integration, going on past experience, is highly unlikely. The last time I had any interaction with Worldcom regarding circuit/provisioning issues, there was little, if any integration of legacy engineering/provisioning data/OSSen. In other words, "Oh, that's an MFS circuit ID, I'll need to get onto another system to get the details on it." Same thing with different incarnations of Bell of Pennsylv^H^H^H^H^HBell Atl^H^H^H^HVerizon. It's the same phenomenon of having 37 different numbers to call to get anything done at $RBOC, none of which are connected to each other. If their phone tree is that disorganized, I have little reason to suspect the underlying support systems are any different, nor will they be under the SB^H^H^HNew AT&T.
