the Internet Backbone

It's because I'm an evil asshole determined to protect my
employer's interests and make our shareholders rich.

This is somewhat incompatible with protecting the interests
of our competitors and enriching their shareholders.

Personally, I have little patience for the small and
not-very-clueful who want to be direct competitors with a
multibillion dollar company with lots of talent and who are
taken to whining about my policies and those of my
colleagues and associates, and even those of our
competitors. This uncharitable attitude obviously does not
endear me to them.

These whiners will be the same "evil asshole" when they, although
it is very unlikely to happen, build their own national/international
backbone and won't peer with the regionals.

Why is Sean getting the pleasant compliments about a VERY logical
business move on behalf of his company? People need to wisen up
and realize that this industry isn't about free things anymore..
it revolves soley around money. Anyone that's into free help..
please call me. We are looking for cheap labor.

Because UUNet, Netcom, MCI, are MUCH easier to work with then sprint. He
is not just some other NSP. He is the only NSP that will not peer with
me. :slight_smile:
