    Suranet is at MeaEast.  Barrnet is presently an MCI transit customer.

Actually, the situation is a bit more complicated than this (in case anyone
really wants to know). It is the case that each of the BBN Planet regions are
MCI transit customers, but BBN Planet also has presence at MAE-East, FIX-East,
MAE-West, and the Pennsauken NAP. We are in the process of finalizing the
peering policy for BBN Planet as an integrated whole. In the near future, we
will send a notice to the provider community that describes our policy and
invites others to establish bi-lateral peering agreements with us.
