From a friend who is in the same building as Verio Chicago (formerly WWA),
I heard that there was a major layoff at our ISP on Friday.. Apparently
Verio has cut the technical staff in half. I think Jackson Brunsting, Rich
Nuttle, Kim Scarborough and John Dennison (?) are gone or going (not sure
of the casualties since I don't know everyone down there). There are others
though. Apparently things have been going so well that they didn't need all
the staff in Chicago (Note: This is called "sarcasm"). Unfortunately, this
is the pattern that Verio has with all their acquisitions. No one in
Chicago saw this coming.

One piece of fall out from this is that Verio has been moving all the
routing through their national infrastructure. This accounts in large part
for all the delays people have been reporting. Rumor has it they will be
replacing the cluster or relocating it in their Dallas facility. Can anyone
confirm this?
