AGIS is going on the auction block. NextLink paid over a billion dollars for a provider with essentially full peering with the major backbones, now you too can buy peering agreements from a one-time "tier 1" provider. According to InteractiveWeek the high bid is only US$15 million. http://www.zdnet.com/intweek/stories/news/0,4164,2552561,00.html Then again, maybe AGIS's anti-peering policies of a few years ago make them a less attractive purchase.
That and I don't think they ever recovered from the fallout over their spam-friendly policies a few years back, either. "Microsoft is not a monopoly!" - Bill Gates "HA!" - Judge Jackson Dean Robb Owner, PC-EASY (757) 495-EASY [3279] On-site computer services Member, ICANN @Large
