One of the early investors in Cogent was Wiltel. Cogent using a significant
portion of Wiltel dark fiber, as well as MFN's (now above net).
Does anyone know after Cogent's restructuring (Chap 11), Did Cisco take most
all of it, or does Wiltel still ahve significant stake in it, or is Cogent
still using Wiltel fiber? Was Level3's play also another roundabout way to
combat Cogent?

Subject: Re: [WISPA] Wiltel and Level 3
Given WilTel's relatively lower pricing than other similar carriers
and L(3)'s previous spat with Cogent, I predict that this will further
limit the low cost options available to smaller ISPs. I have a
feeling that the carriers' previous habitual overspending will come
back to bite us with higher prices under the guise of 'this stuff is
expensive -- look at all the bankrupt carriers... so we created
market-specific monopolies to increase our revenue.'
Hopefully, I am wrong and L(3) just wanted a lower-cost option to
become one of their customers.

Will this be good or bad. I know I've heard you guys talk about wiltel
and they have good prices. Is this one of those mergers where it will
get us more competive rates or now that they are bigger they will screw
us?
