[1] From what I know, ANS was formed by Merit, IBM and MCI in 1990 to run the NSFNET backbone. Could somebody update me on the current status of ANS - i.e. after NSFNETs demise in 1995, did ANS become independent and does it qualify as an NSP in its own right?
Yes, they did... and they were bought <sigh> by AOL.
[3] Is there a web page which lists all the public CIXs and NAPs around the world? Pointers appreciated.
Unlikely.
[4] Some recent threads on NANOG discussed physical layer issues like SONET, SDH, circuit layout etc. Could somebody point me to technical papers / articles / books which describe fiber and copper technology in detail.
