Yep. What comes with this is that Exodus and the rest of the world have the freedom to inform our customers and the public in general of (1) what we ascertain the situation to be, (2) how we analyze it, and (3) what we recommend that customers of both Exodus and BBN do in response.

fundamentally important that these ideals be extended to the future of the Internet, if it is to have a future. No company should have the right to force another to pay for connectivity simply because the latter has not been around since the beginning or they are not a telco.
BBN is answerable to their customers and shareholders and not to your or my ideals of how the Internet should work. -- Shields, CrossLink. <<File: Re_ BBN Peering issues.TXT>>
