Exodus/C&W Depeering

Tue Mar 26 17:23:52 UTC 2002

I'm presuming that Exodus is planning to get the transit they need after this 
depeering via C&W's peering points? If so, this makes a certain amount of sense - no 
need to maintain separate peering circuits; this is probably just a step in the 
eventual assimilation of Exodus' IP backbone into C&W's.
