Re: Where is Omaha?

We're doing metro ethernet over copper in Des Moines, there's nothing the local monopoly can do to prohibit uses of the copper as long as you aren't a hazard or interfering with other circuits.

I agree they can't prohibit however in the case of "The Omaha Order" they can make it darn hard.

You have done some really cool things there in Des Moines however why would anyone invest in Omaha with the climate the way it is now. It's a shame. Would you bring your RT's out to the neighborhoods here?

Rumor has it the next gen network will NOT be open to Qhost, I don't know if that's true, you would know better than me.

The loss of McLeod is REALLY going to hurt me in Omaha, and I will more than likely end up buying from you in Des Moines to make up for how mad I will be at McLeod when they bail. There will also be the massive hole left because of Lighthouse bailing with McLeod.

Omaha will soon be a duopoly, Pinpoint bought a bunch of McLeods assets in Omaha however they still have no last mile.

Re: Where is Omaha?

You can still get DS0 UNE loops, if you're good you can get a lot done with those.

I'm not sure that Q accomplished anything at all in Omaha, the only competitors that pulled out are the ones that were purchasing elements from them, the competitor that was soundly beating them has their own network entirely.

I didn't realize that McLeod was pulling out that completely. Who is Pinpoint?

The loss of Lighthouse is more addition by subtraction
