Coincidence...

When Sprint initially enacted peering requirements, I asked several UUnet employees whether they were planning to do the same. The answer was without exception that UUnet pursues peering with all technically qualified providers at all exchange points, because that results in the best connectivity for UUnet customers. At about that time, there was a UUnet ad in the print media that featured a never-completed freeway on-ramp to I-95 in Baltimore. As I was driving north to Boston last Friday, I noted wryly that said ramp was being dismantled. ---Rob
