You may recall that Virgin Media were acquired by Liberty Global. And Liberty's (AS 6830) peering policy is a lot stricter than Virgin's (AS 5089). A nice fellow from Virgin Media stood up at a LINX event not long after the acquisition and (amongst other things) stated that he hoped a happy middle ground would emerge between the two policies for 5089. This was positive, but it did imply that Virgin's policy would need to become more restrictive than it was pre-acquisition. I'm not particularly looking forward to what the future may hold based on current evidence, but you could say that I'm not overly surprised that their tact has changed somewhat (and is likely yet to change further). - -- Tom Hill Network Engineer Bytemark Hosting http://www.bytemark.co.uk/ tel. +44 1904 890 890 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJXK4pyAAoJEH2fKbrp2sQ6lbIIAL4Qr3c54Dla5nY/T6lN9wWW 3EMQ0W2wmNy9by5GncpB4wShiabIiDAEOD7BgYh28eQj6ZfvSItBhjw2wiUmFlzj SaBlGGdCW5b/M/DlHZnvV3c0z//kpoHc0rLBQxhQWen4arJ5uetrd82ViB9hajZ8 zaItt5gO7Bt9EvcsE5C6TBER/P3tHaxhmPZQM82c4zt3UDXssW0uNVQKekN/VTSc 0FMRq59RQ4Awiititk0rEyHd2k/S83j+GzN0qOohe+PEaTc58RL8YSvWdsb/zbLo OmaIrTeBaq+xDCwYBcgJXGCC7znqAqK0jDxXb/qDZzVdULSvj8A9RRWrWYiSIi4= =K9/0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
