Peering Disputes

• 2001: Cable & Wireless / PSINet + 13 other ISPs
  • Cable & Wireless acquires PSINet Japan, Lightwave (Jan. 28, 2002)
  • Denise Pappalardo, When Private Peering Arrangements Go Bad, Network World (June 11, 2001)("Cable & Wireless terminated private peering network agreements with 14 ISPs, including troubled PSINet, which Cable & Wireless said no longer met the ISP's peering requirements.")
  • John Borland, Net Blackout marks Webs’ Achilles Heel, CNET (June 6, 2001) ("the squabble illustrates just how fragile the Internet's series of connected, largely unregulated private networks can be. The Net has built its strength in part on this decentralized, unregulated environment, but the ISPs' fight underscores that very little can prevent future blackouts like this from happening.")
  • James Evans, PSINet, Cable & Wireless spat causes Net disconnect, Computer World (June 8, 2001)
• 1998: Cable & Wireless acquires MCI's Internet assets, persuant to the MCI/WCOM merger agreement
