Which AT&T does *not* have, unless I cannot find the correct person
to enlighten me.  (NOC, sales team, implementation teams, customer
care and lifecycle teams- all either scratch their head and say
"what?  why would someone want that?" or just say "no.")

Someone, please prove me wrong.  I would love to have this 
rather simple and quite common (these days) functionality 
in all of my upstreams.  Yes, AT&T is the only one (out of 4
major providers we use) that cannot seem to implement this.

Of course, I wonder if it will ever come now (assuming they will
charge for their whiz-bang Arbor solution...)
