Not to let MCI Worldcom off the hook (huge numbers of major corps have lost
MCI/W connectivity), but let's put the primary responsibility where it
belongs - squarely on the CBOT. PJA has been out for close to a week.
Constructing a system for trading of securities which does not have adequate
redundancy is irresponsible and inexcusable - no less so than the CME's
failure to maintain reliability in TOPS/CUBS. Unfortunately, the CFTC chose
to regulate newsletter writers and software developers while allowing the
futures exchanges to employ design and development techniques which went out
of use a decade or two ago. Building highly reliable, redundant systems has
not been rocket science since the 60's.
