That is really cool - but why weren't other ISPs given fair warning.  It
appears to me that USWest.net is one of the few providers in town giving the
bandwidth.  Nobody else had a chance to open up their pipes.  Haven't
lawsuites in the past taught Quest that perhaps it is a good idea to err on
the side of caution, and in this case, tell the ISPs that they are going to
open the pipe?
