Currently we peer with UUNet across Mae-West and have for over two years. We have been trying to extend this peering to the many other NAP's where we have DS3 connectivity for over 10 months now, as sound network design would indicate, but these efforts have been repeatedly rejected by UUNet. Recently, we also recieved the "from letter" telling us our peering would be shut off in June. We have so far declined to sign the NDA papers with UUNet regarding this.

We are seeking a solution to the the problem without entering into a dead-end NDA that prevents us from actually doing so. I encourage others who are in the same boat to contact us to exchange thoughts on the matter.

I suggest considering a class legal action and/or a direct call to the FTC asking for an investigation if you believe this behavior is anti-competitive. -- -- Karl Denninger (karl@MCS.Net)| MCSNet - The Finest Internet Connectivity http://www.mcs.net/~karl | T1's from $600 monthly to FULL DS-3 Service | 99 Analog numbers, 77 ISDN, http://www.mcs.net/ Voice: [+1 312 803-MCS1 x219]| NOW Serving 56kbps DIGITAL on our analog lines!
