Hi,
Hi James, i would agree except NAC seems to have done nothing unreasonable and are executing cancellation clauses in there contract which are pretty standard. The customer's had plenty of time to sort things and they have iether been unable to or unwilling to move out in the lengthy period given. This too isnt uncommon and the usual thing that occurs at this point is the customer negotiates with the supplier for an extension in service which they pay for. These guys seem to not want to admit they've failed to plan this move, dont want to pay for their errors and are now either panicking or trying to prove a point to NAC.
I tend to agree. Reasonable time to migrate appears to be reasonable "grace period." If unreasonable planning, hard (for me) to understand need for unreasonable "grace period." 'reasonable' of course in need of a defintion, but from what I see most (but perhaps not all, these days... so I may be wrong) service providers allow sufficient "grace period" to make the technical needs fly. I'm far from sure non-technical issues should imply extended "grace period." Hrm,... My few ören (or french or canadian cents, if preferred :) mh

It also seems that the TROis about farmore than IP space (i.e. the continuation of fulltransit services,at existing contract rates).then they did other customers. Now, I do note that is probably just one side of the story, so likely there would beanother sideas this progresses through court (hopefully Richardwill keep thewebpage current with new documents), atlthough I haveto tell youwhat I saw mentioned so far did not show NAC or itsprincipals in the good light at all.I would like to post the NAC response to this so that we can hear all sides of the story, but unfortunately the case was moved from the US District Court back to the NJ Superior Court, where I no longer have easy access to the documents. I would behappy to takeoffline submissions of the legal filings from anyone willing to waste more on this than the $0.07/page that PACER charges. :) -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras () e-gerbil net>http://www.e-gerbil.net/rasGPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF4C41 5ECA F8B12CBC)
