I actually think this is put very well. I know that in my case I'd prefer to buy transit from a company who has an open peering policy. For example, I'd certainly consider buying transit from mfn before uunet for example. I realize there are many other factors including relyability, cost,

I imagine "public relations" depts of CW and UUNET will not allow them to just admit they would not peer, and this is why they "have" peering policies. In reality however, UUNET will peer with anyone who pays them money for the peering traffic and they do provide good discounts on this. Add t

Just because policies are in place that suggest an assignment may or may not be justified is wholly irrelevant to whether or not that assignment takes place (or in the case of the original thread, stays in place). ARIN is not in the business of saying "do" or "do not". Ralph wrote: > >>Is that

I'm not a lawyer and cannot answer the questions you pose. However I fail to see why the interesting legal principles you are espousing have anything to do with the original topic of this thread: an upstream revoking an assignment upon the severing of its relationship with its downstream.
