Sprint Cuts Cogent Off the Internet
superbus1929 writes "I work as a security analyst at an internet security company. While troubleshooting an issue, we learned why our customer couldn't keep his site-to-site VPN going from any location that uses Sprint as its ISP: Sprint has decided not to route traffic to Cogent due to litigation. This has a chilling effect; already, this person I worked with cannot communicate between a few sites of his, and since Sprint is stopping the connections cold (my traceroutes showed as complete, and not as timing out), it means that there is no backup plan; anyone going to Cogent from a Sprint ISP is crap out of luck."
He knew it was a nutty position to take, so he explicitly stated that it was his client's position, not his.
However were he possessed of even the slightest hint of ethics he would have quit on the spot, called a press conference, told the public that the president was a traitor who intended to be a monarch, and that we needed to pull a Louis XVI to save the Republic.
But the fame and potential wealth he could get by defending a traitor outweighed any integrity that scumbag might once have had.
Ford's folly killed any hope of that leading to Reagan the terrorist supporting crack dealer and the Bush crime syndicate. Ever increasing crimes against the nation and never any punishment. It must be good to be the king.
That, in a nutshell, is the problem with our country.
