Re: Low AS - Number

Nonsense. One of the first things new/large companies do is buy someone with a low ASN and take it over. Look at QWest, Verio, etc. In fact, pretty much the only exception to this rule is Cogent, who is still using 16631 instead of 174 or 4006.

Aww. come on.. do they buy them because of a low ASN? Or because they are looking for a core of experienced people and some physical assets and customers worth acquiring and many of them just happen to have a low ASN.
