Re: Cable & Wireless "de-peering"?!?

Didn't UUNet try this back in 96? A quick search of Boardwatch failed to find the article, but ISTR that John Sidgemore eventually slunk back to the playground and agreed to play nice. If UUNet couldn't pull it off back then, I doubt that CW can now. Things have changed a lot in 5 years, but I would suspect that "Stealing the Internet" would now be harder rather than easier.
