MCI outage

Sat Apr 12 16:07:28 UTC 1997

the relationship between mci and bbn is one of peering.  bbn
is no longer a transit customer of internetMCI.  we peer with
them directly in multiple locations.  i can't speak with authority
about the relationship between bbn and at&t.  i understood that
it was one of provider/reseller.
