RE: Exodus/C&W Depeering
the Invisible Hand said you should talk to the face instead. Go figure. A monk I met on the street, however, said: "Even stupid companies can make smart decisions sometimes, the trouble is that you can only tell in hindsight whether the choices made were the right ones". I was also given a copy of a book by Lao Tze before the monk was chased off by aggressive chanters and bongo-drummers from a rival sect. Central London is weird. Sean. | AS3561 (InternetMCI) was once the number 1 ISP, by almost every | measure that existed. The marketplace has not been kind to C&W | since they bought AS3561. Why isn't Adam Smith's Invisible Hand | rewarding C&W? Is C&W number 5 or 6 these days?

I think in business they should rather be reading Sun Tzu. -Hank

Either one may or may not be applicable. Depends on your view. "When the country is ruled with a light hand The people are simple. When the country is ruled with severity, The people are cunning." So, I will be cunning in light of this severity. ;) "... the stiff and unbending is the disciple of death. The gentle and yielding is the disciple of life. Thus an army without flexibility never wins a battle. A tree that is unbending is easily broken. The hard and strong will fall. The soft and weak will overcome." I prefer an inclusive peering policy instead of an exclusive one. I think it makes more sense in terms of building a quality network. But then, I don't make money selling high-bandwidth ip transit, so perhaps this is just my view of the peering elephant. -Chris -- \\\|||/// \ StarNet Inc. \ Chris Parker \ ~ ~ / \ WX *is* Wireless! \ Director, Engineering | @ @ | \ http://www.starnetwx.net \ (847) 963-0116 oOo---(_)---oOo--\------------------------------------------------------ \ Wholesale Internet Services - http://www.megapop.net
