My understanding of what happens next is that ANS will be contacting
the sites which house ENSSes and discussing various logistics. It is
true that the NSFNET Backbone Service is coming to an end, but
ANS will continue to be an ISP, so it could be that ANSnet will
continue to serve certain locations.

As of April 30, 1995, ANSnet is relieved of the obligation to carry traffic
from NSF designated regional to another NSF designated regional. Any 
arrangements to exchange traffic with ANSnet will have to be negotiated
with ANS.
