Sprint joins UUNET in the peering charging squeeze?
I know of two instances where sprint has informed peers that they will now be charged. BLIA becomes a LEN. If sprint is putting the squeeze on you i'd like to hear about it. Also does anyone know if AT&T, Compuserve, and IBM Global Net and EUNET have proven large enough to escape UUNET's demands for money fro continued peering? ************************************************************************ The COOK Report on Internet For subsc. pricing & more than 431 Greenway Ave, Ewing, NJ 08618 USA ten megabytes of free material (609) 882-2572 (phone & fax) visit http://cookreport.com/ Internet: cook@cookreport.com On line speech of critics under attack by Ewing NJ School Board, go to http://cookreport.com/sboard.shtml ************************************************************************

Judging by the routes shown at various places: IBM Global Net is a customer of UUnet. AT&T is a customer of BBN and UUnet. Compuserve is an MCI customer. And I've always believed there was a significant relationship between EUNET (AS286) and UUnet, although I can't remember exactly what it is. So, I think the answer to your question is "Who cares?" Pick another four companies and ask your question again. -mark
