At the traffic level the above three are running, the savings may not
be that much. Plus, instead of two links, one to MCI and one to UUNET,
now the customer needs just one (MAYBE bigger) connection to this new
provider. This is potentially a big loss in revenue.

BTW, Gridnet is old Worldcom network, and is never merged with UUNET.
