BellSouth CTO: "We lost 9 COs to Katrina"
Jim Duffy writes in NetworkWorld:
Hurricane Katrina destroyed nine BellSouth central offices in the Gulf Coast region, BellSouth's CTO said this week.
The lost COs served 20,000 lines on the Mississippi coast and on the peninsula south of New Orleans, said Bill Smith, BellSouth CTO. BellSouth is deploying digital loop carrier systems to restore service, Smith says.
Reconstructing the COs, however, will depend on whether people repopulate those affected areas.
BellSouth has 4.7 million lines in the Katrina-affected areas of Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi.
