|  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.

| 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.

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. |
