Was that the ONLY partner mentioned in Asia?
I think NOT. Spend a few minutes doing DD on the other named JV partner... AXISTEL communications - the same company that orchestrated the MEGA transatlantic deal in 1999- with Telemonde Inc - 19.8 mil- purchase of fiber optic bandwidth cables ... Gemini Submarine Cable Systems- a subsisdiary of CBLW and MCI??? Well guess what?? Seems they have been working around the clock also via Telemonde Inc - and their data centers which owns substantial capacity over 2 state of the art fiber optics cablesystems and where ?? NEW YORK!
Sorry folks- if I can't sleep. You don't sleep. WHEN there is DD to do - there is no sleep.
