Re: French Regulator to ask all your information about your Peering

[Owen DeLong <owen () delong com>]

Personally, I don't see this as a bad thing. Open disclosure of peering
relationships strikes me as a "sunlight is the best disinfectant" kind of
situation.

Will they be making this information public or accepting it under seal?

If they're making it public, then, I think overall it's a good thing. If not,
then it's just another burdensome regulation without much public good.
