- Prior to outfits like Advantis and the Home Shopping Network blowing
- major smoke up GTE's ass about network congestion and T1 clocking, folks
- in Tampa were fortunate to even get a connection. GTE still lost the
- HSN account, including every cent of the toll completion revenue due to
- LEC bypass, but in the process learned a great deal about becoming a
- phone company. Today both HSN and Advantis have direct fiber POPs from
- their IXC (MCI I believe, in both cases). It would be real interesting
- to see how GTE would handle things differently if they could only wind
- the clock back a few years and start over.
