Yes, I realize this is NANOG and a lot of people here doesn't seem very
interested about events over in Europe, but for those who might be
interested and have not already seen this:

http://nocpeople.org/ebone/broadcast2.html

From what I can see personally, all BGP sessions with Ebone at major
peering points in Europe went down in the last two hours, and all their
customer interfaces appear to be shut (or in the process of being shut
down). SDH and DWDM customer circuits are also being torn down as we
speak.

Note, this is only the Ebone part of the bankrupt network, not the
KPNQwest part.

So, guess it's time to finally wave goodbye...
