"On October 6, Level 3, as it had repeatedly advised Cogent it would, 
terminated free traffic exchange with Cogent.  Because Internet users, 
apparently without notice from Cogent and through no fault of their own, 
have been impacted, Level 3 has, effective immediately, re-established a 
free connection to Cogent.  In order to allow Internet users to make 
alternative arrangements, we will maintain this connection until 6:00 a.m. 
ET, November 9, 2005.  The effectiveness of this arrangement of course 
depends on Cogent's willingness to maintain their side of the traffic 
exchange.
