From what I can see personally, all BGP sessions with Ebone at major peering points in Europe went down in the last two hours, and all their customer interfaces appear to be shut (or in the process of being shut down). SDH and DWDM customer circuits are also being torn down as we speak.

If your full cost of peering with UUNET (including things such as depreciation) comes to $400 per mbit/sec and via a promisig local ISP you can get transit to UUNET at $200 per mbit/sec, your costs will decrease. Just because the IP is free with peering does not mean that it costs $0 to
