Considering the number of messages about companies going bust, this
one seems vaguely operational for some...

There are a number of quotes from "people familiar with the matter,"
but as I understand it the background is sound. If KPNQ does have to
switch off their network, it will affect a large number of businesses
in Europe, as they offer both circuits (via their extensive "Eurorings"
network) and IP connectivity (they acquired Ebone not too long ago).
