I don't understand why Cogent is allowed to operate one of the root servers. Doesn't ICANN do any kind of technical background check on companies when letting the contract?
You must be new here. There is no contract for running root servers and never has been. We can all have our own opinions about the various operators. R's, John
For those who haven't been around long enough, this isn't Cogent's first depeering argument. Nor their second. And they're behaving unreasonably. I don't know any of the details -this time- but historically speaking Cogent is behaving badly -again- and you can take that to the bank.
