Based on when Level(3) made the acquisition announcement, I'd guess that they are fairly close to completing it, and if you've noticed the changes at some of their other recent acquisitions, they typically do a lot more than just change the way they answer the phone. As far as Wiltel goes, the entire sales team I was dealing with was gone by the time the deal completed. There were also entire outside plant personnel changes, etc. I've also recently dealt with Level(3) acquiring other vendors of mine, such as Progress Telecom and Telcove. I stand by my statement, but opinions of your experiences are welcome of course. -Randy
