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?

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.
