The AT&T network will be offered as being tightly coupled with the System 85,
so it is unlikely that it will not be marketed directly to the end users,
especially since some of our account team is already trying to sell us one
(ie. they are already marketing to end users).  The name, as I've heard it,
will simply be Wide-band Premise Network (WPN).  It might be sold to the local
BOC's as 3Bnet, since 3B means something to them, but not to the end users.
I've recently heard quite a bit about the WPN which no one has me asked not to
repeat, so if anyone wants any info, please feel free to send mail.
