Quoting Jack Bates <jbates@brightok.net>:
From: "Adam Kujawski"
"Fiber Network Solutions and Cogent Communications are pleased to announce
that
Cogent Communications has agreed to acquire the major assets of FNSI, including all FNSI customers. <snip self-righteousnous>
With the constant change in the global network represented by the changes to my BGP tables, is there a particular reason why something like this needs to be on-list outside of network bragging and soliciting?
-Jack
Perhaps because FNSI is a decent size network with a significant number of peering connections and BGP speaking customers. This was the first notice I have seen that they will be aquired by Cogent. It was forwarded by not as propoganda but as a heads-up to the people who will be affected. It was not sent by FNSI to Nanog but by a customer of FNSI (us). And this was any more off topic than 90% of the other garbage on this list lately? Mark Radabaugh Amplex
