So what's the problem? Basically, one organisation, Ebone, which operates a fairly large pan-European net, won't peer with others. This means that European customers connected to non-Ebone connected providers like Global One lack European connectivity without going through the US. Ebone provides great connectivity at cost, but the big US NSPs making presences in Europe naturally don't want to buy bandwidth from someone like Ebone. We'll see what happens.

I don't think this is correct. Ebone peers with other pan-european networks of comparable size, IBM, BT and EUnet comes to my mind. G1 is a customer of Ebone and connects in Paris. --Peter
