What Internet Backbone Provider Isn't Going Bankrupt?

from the another-one-bites-the-dust dept

The latest internet backbone provider to teeter on bankruptcy is Genuity, who many different iterations (and mergers) ago helped (in some ways) to create the internet as BBN (detailed nicely in the book Where Wizards Stay Up Late). It’s amazing that there still is an internet at all following the domino like collapses of PSINet, Worldcom, KPNQwest and Global Crossing.
