Parts of the Eurorings (the KPNQwest part of the KPNQwest/Ebone network combination) seem to be semi-active - otherwise bits wouldn't flow from Qwest to Leiden in NL. But there are just KPNQwest core AS/KPN Belgium/ Luxembourg prefixes advertised on the IP side. I am worried on the networks that have swapped/IRU:ed fibers from KQ and have transmission gear co-located at KQ amp huts / major nodes, using KQ rectifiers to get DC juice to their racks. It is going to be interesting to watch if/when the still-lit remains of the Eurorings go dark on transmission level - I've understood there were couple of _very utilized_ WDM rings in KQ central european network.. What is the legal position of an IRU deal if the cable owner goes belly up? --kauto
