Perhaps because FNSI is a decent size network with a significant number of
peering connections and BGP speaking customers. This was the first notice I
have seen that they will be aquired by Cogent.
It was forwarded by not as propoganda but as a heads-up to the people who will
be affected. It was not sent by FNSI to Nanog but by a customer of FNSI (us).
And this was any more off topic than 90% of the other garbage on this list
lately?
