| AT&T & Verizon probably do the same thing or will
It only makes sense to have a single backbone network to handle all the traffic, both voice and data. By combining all the separate backbones in to one you get the advantage of a more robust network with more diversity and redundancy. And the combined capacity allows the backbone to handle peaks more readily. -- My BLOG .. .. Internet News .. .. My Web Page |

| Verizon Wireless has been doing this for years. They mux the Verizon wireless traffic onto the Verizon backbone.
Funny thing is that this is how Verizon makes a lot of their profit, they double dip. VW is a holding of V so they bill for the network capacity then they take a chunk of the profit as well. Pretty good gig. -- "It's always funny until someone gets hurt......and then it's absolutely friggin' hysterical!" |

Pretty good gig. That's not what they are talking about. ALL telco's "mux" their different levels of communications. Sprint has iDen MSO's jumping on MAN fiber to a LD site, which lets the T1's trickle down to whatever backbone that's needed. What VZ/VZW isn't doing (or saying) is offloading traffic from legacy switches, like a Nortel DMS and/or Lucent platform and putting it all on a single platform (ip based) so it all forms one cloud.. not many. It's nice to have 1 cabinet (mux's, echo cans, WBDac's and BBDacs) that has everything one needs instead of a plant scattered all over the building. |

Have to stamp the burnt out logo on my head for it. |
