Does anyone know what happened to the Ebone/KPNQWEST European-wide DWDM system? I figure that if it was shut down, we would see more impact. It's beeing sold off in pices. Their IP network load I bet was quite easily handled by other operators considering the huge over-capacity situation

Yes one of the myths that I used to hear was that COLTs european network relied upon KQ, which it didn't. The other issue is local network As ex-KQ I agree with you. But there where plenty of others. access of course, its fine having these huge fibre networks that are point to point, but
