Anyone able to outline a worst case scenario, on what the effect would be, if the KPN network really goes down? cheers eric
Considering the number of messages about companies going bust, this one seems vaguely operational for some... http://biz.yahoo.com/djus/020529/200205292257000882_2.html
There are a number of quotes from "people familiar with the matter," but as I understand it the background is sound. If KPNQ does have to switch off their network, it will affect a large number of businesses in Europe, as they offer both circuits (via their extensive "Eurorings" network) and IP connectivity (they acquired Ebone not too long ago).
