| The impact.. I have a server in a datacenter that uses Mae-East (Owned by the Worldcom MAE Service.. which is a Peering network..) and MFS. (Level Three.)
Here is the global UUnet map.

As you can see, this backbone is massive. It has multiple (dozens probably) of hub cities. Many OC192s, OC48s, OC12s, T3s and T1s.. this is not "no big deal." If the fall of a major backbone happens, what will you do? The traffic that normally goes over UUnet will most likely bottleneck other backbones.
If this goes.. you don't want to see it go. And Worldcom saying they were going to use their UUnet division to secure a loan is stupid, btw. (I read this on CNN's money section.)
