  I thought AT&T was laying TAT-8 in place? Isn't this the cable that will
break up into two sections near the English coast, and one section will go
to southern England, while the other one will connect to the Northeastern
French coast? I saw a display of this at the AT&T exhibit in New York City
at the AT&T Building, and they seem to imply that they are mainly responsible
for this.

   Maybe MCI is doing the Pacific Cable (too bad!...they'll screw it up fer
sure ;-) ), but I think AT&T is a VERY substantial part of TAT-8.

   Or are we talking about different things?
