Sprint NY NAP Status

At this time (9/23/94) Sprint's NAP is ready to accept customers. MCI and ANS are fully connected to the NAP and are ready exchange traffic with each other and other NSPs once appropriate peering agreements have been concluded.

Farooq, Thanks for the update. One question I have about the NAPs is, is there anything in the NAP setup/agreement/whatever that precludes an NSP, present at the NAP, from accepting customer (i.e. *its* customers) connections to its router at the NAP location. Stated another way, can an NSP present at the NAP treat the NAP location as just another PoP? Thanks, Tim Streater, DANTE. t.c.streater@dante.org.uk +44 223 302992
