It is very likely that Pegasus made the correct decision to protect their
business, regardless what a bunch of engineers on NANOG think about the IP
space question. It also seems that the TRO is about far more than IP space
(i.e.  the continuation of full transit services, at existing contract
rates).

I would like to post the NAC response to this so that we can hear all
sides of the story, but unfortunately the case was moved from the US
District Court back to the NJ Superior Court, where I no longer have easy
access to the documents. I would be happy to take offline submissions of
the legal filings from anyone willing to waste more on this than the
$0.07/page that PACER charges. :)
