http://live.ebone.com/ is probably about as much info as you can get unless
you know someone there. Ebone is part of KPNQ as a result of recent
assimilation.
As to how closely linked their NOCs were/are is a matter of speculation.
Allegedyly the Ebone NOC in Belgium was to take over IP operations.
Certainly, just prior to bankrupty, they aggressivly migrated their IP
customers from what was Ebone to KPNQ's network. The cynics amongst us
think this is uncanny timing.
