I didn't really care about this, but now I'm curious.  Since their

to Sprint and Cogent peering directly with each other, how did they
communicate?  Why was that functionality broken after they started
peering?


They purchased transit (through NTT I believe) for connectivity to sprint.

They removed that, because their goal has been to be transit-free.
