Was this paper peer reviewed ?

I'm interested in the problem, but this is not the paper.

AT&T's network is the most vulnerable? While Onyx is among the least
vulnerable?  Onyx is bankrupt, and their network is no longer in
operation. I guess you could argue Onyx not vulnerable any more.  This
paper starts out with some bad assumptions, such as there is one NAP in a
city, one path between cities or the marketing maps in Boardwatch are
meaningful.

Until we figure out how to collect some meaningful starting data, we
can't draw these types of conclusions.
