Williams buys transit from UUNet. Williams also pays (or at least paid,
last I looked) Sprint for direct connectivity. Wouldn't surprise me if
they were paying more for the Sprint than they were for the UU, and
decided to consolidate.

It also wouldn't surprise me if they still had a Sprint pipe and yet 
accepted more specifics from their transits, I used to see that a lot on 
them.
