Broadwing!! Wow.

I didn't think anyone had actually heard of them :)

How long have you been there ?

I worked for a company for a while called ntr.net, based in louisville,
Ky.  IXC bought us, then Cincy Bell bought IXC.  My impression was that
ntr.net later became broadwing.. but maybe its just one of many of
broadwings properties.  At any rate, now www.ntr.net is pointing to
broadwing, and most of the people still at the old ntr by the time it had
been bought a few times were "broadwing" employees.

I guess your work experience was vastly different than mine.  After being
bought out twice, we basically had 3-5 layers of idiot management above
us.  Everyone semicluefull got out while they could :)

I'd love to hear all about what you do for them, and if you're familiar at
all with the louisville, kY property.  I had a hand in its initial
construction and some of the systems (both hardware and software).

Oh, and thanks for running the SB list. :)
