incorrect). my altzheimer's device tells me that those restrictions end
2008.12.31. expect change.
The fact there is a temporary exception to the rule for two providers in
the US who agreed to the exception for reasons other than peering /
transit does not mean the rule is invalid.

so sorry to have interrupted a deep discussion of political theory on rights and unwritten rules with operational reality :)

Cute. :-)


But the "operational reality" is that you have no real expectation of connectivity to any other network.
