I've gotten calls from both UPS and AT&T, and it seems like they might be in bed together for some logistics ratchet-up coming soon to the supply chain industry.
AT&T wasn't looking for providers for temporary service... they were looking for permanent contracted links for redundancy - and they stated that they were intentionally side-stepping the local ilecs. Their service would be the primary and they prefer a WISP connection as the backup. I'll get my sales guy to try to get more details... Seems legit tho - unless they're just mapping out our coverage areas for their "own use" :) R -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marlon K.
