Cox Signs New Level3 Agreement Cox Communications Inc. has extended its Internet backbone deal with Level 3 Communications Inc. to include advanced peering services. The deal's initial implementation will mean that Cox can connect cable-modem subscribers directly with peering partner Microsoft Corp.'s MSN content servers through Level 3's multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) private network services, rather than numerous tier one backbone providers such AT&T Corp., Sprint Corp. or WorldCom Inc.

| Hmm Could Be It may because instead of having several peering points to worry about you just have a couple which makes it much easier to track down and fix network wide problems. Also Level3 is a good backbone provider. Level3 is also the primary backbone provider for the XBox Live network and all the beta testers say the latency is next to non-existent.

| Will new peering agreement result in savings. Will Cox pass along those savings to its customers? Will recent price increases be rolled back?
