Yes, but this is the other way around. If the company you bought the IRU
from goes belly up, there is no guarantee you can keep them running. That
is up to the agreement between the seller (the administrator) and the buyer
(of the bancupcy assets).

Well, it's actually more like a land lease contract. You don' own them, you
have the right to use it as you see fit for the agreed time period though.
