A handy thing about T1 muxes is that you can put anything you want over
the circuit.  Therfore, for a distributed company, you can nix your
phone bills, wipe out all your leased lines et al between sites and
just pay for one T1 line.  Also, in a business park environment, groups
of companies could get together and lease "chunks" of someone else's
T1 line -- much cheaper (but much more limiting) than purchasing subrate
(<T1) lines.

Disclaimer: T1 muxes are what my company does.  I don't speak for them,
	    I don't tell them what to do with what I make (in fact, I
	    don't deal with T1 stuff at all).  Anything you hear from
	    me is guesswork & unofficial.
