Last march I did a long interview with Farooq Hussain about the 
economics of peering and Cable and Wireless's role in the collapse of 
the tier one peering proposition.  Farooq was absolutely scathing in 
his indictment of Cable and Wireless' arrogant behavior.  Apparently, 
they (C&W) learned nothing and are now waltzing into an indian 
partnership where the indian partners don't know anymore.
