Daniel Senie:



Was anyone truly surprised C&W failed in the US marketplace? They
seem only able to make money when they're the government-sanctioned
monopoly. It'll be interesting to see if they can handle competition
in India any better than they did in the US.



Last march I did a long interview with Farooq Hussain about the
economics of peering and Cable and Wireless's role in the collapse of
the tier one peering proposition. Farooq was absolutely scathing in
his indictment of Cable and Wireless' arrogant behavior. Apparently,
they (C&W) learned nothing and are now waltzing into an indian
partnership where the indian partners don't know anymore.
