Just curious, but what are your peering requirements? It sounds like UUNET
doesn't meet either your or AGIS's peering requirements, given that they are
only at MAE {E & W} and Sprint NAP. (I don't believe they are peering with
anyone at MAE Houston other than Sesquinet..)
I assume you'll turn off DIGEX peering and UUNET peering at the same time? I
wonder when AGIS is turning off their UUNET peering....
