TelCove acquired by Level 3: Filling the Hole in the South
Whenever I am around people at VON, I am always questioning who is a Bellhead and who is Nethead. One way to discover this is to listen to the discussion about the region of the United States served by BellSouth.
If you are a nethead that area is considered to have a hole. Getting from Florida to the midwest maybe easy as a drive on Interstate 75 but Internet 75 is just not there. The result is that traffic has a tendency to go to Texas or New York and then along the coast lines.
Given that I met with Level3 before its name was announced in the chicago area the fact that the TelCove map is missing Chicago may not be a big issue.
It does sure like most of the hole is filled in.
