@dangoodin @joeklein The HE vs Cogent battle has been going on for over a decade (maybe close to two now) and is it's own infrastructure problem in and of itself, since both companies are major network transit providers. I'll admit that it is somewhat motivated by the fact that HE has made it both very cheap and very easy to gain access to their network fo peering and transit. (more)

@dangoodin @joeklein But the fact that Cogent is not being transparent about a piece of the global shared infrastructure (c.root-servers.net) that they control is... rather disturbing. This is something that they hold in trust for the entire community, and unlike the peering dispute, people have no real way to avoid using it. ICANN/IANA need to hold Cogent to account for this. At least a public explanation as to what happened, and what steps are taken to avoid it in the future. (more)
