Well, I would imagine that the faster you can ship the bits,
the faster anything can happen -- including BGP convergence and
botnet attacks (too!). :-)
Yeah, I realize that the possibility to actually "speed up"
light via the optical transmission systems may be a long
ways off (or simply impossi

increase the speed to 3/4? :-)

To make this operational, will this speed up BGP convergence?
(note that there is a difference between group velocity
and phase velocity. The posters of "300,000 Kilometers Per

valid).

Man, I knew I should've gotten in on the ground floor in
any effort to speed up light -- someone's going to be
rich beyond their wildest dreams. :-)
(Thanks to a post over at Slashdot) the Science Blog

How to get your customers to use the right dial-up number is presumably on
topic for NANOG. I know that when I worked for a dial-up ISP many years
ago, it was frequently a big issue for our customers.
However, the more general topic of how to dial a phone call in various

Not really. Billable status of a call is known

here's a fairly big one: uunet public tech support 1-800-900-0241.
