I dont know about AT&T but UPS is seeking "Broadband Backup" at all their locations. I've already received their official packet from their headquarters and mailed it back. This is my third "national" company wanting backup to their T1's. A trend that I hope continues ;)

I've gotten calls from both UPS and AT&T, and it seems like they might be in bed together for some logistics ratchet-up coming soon to the supply chain industry. AT&T wasn't looking for providers for temporary service... they were looking for permanent contracted links for redundancy - and they stated that they were intentionally side-stepping the local ilecs. Their service would be the primary and they prefer a WISP connection as the backup. I'll get my sales guy to try to get more details... Seems legit tho - unless they're just mapping out our coverage areas for their "own use" :) R -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marlon K.
