    "According to Cogent CEO Dave Schaeffer, there is no size disparity between his company and Level 3 that would require Cogent to pay for terminating calls. Instead, he says, Level 3 is pressuring his company to increase its Internet access prices because its own revenues are under pressure."

    Its a wild guess, but there could be an anti-trust suit over this.

      "Cogent is addressing that immediate problem by offering 12 months of free access to any Level 3 customer who wants to connect to its customers"

                I have a very good friend on the inside of Cogent and I've been told that this is a common practice for Cogent to secure new customers. Even at $10 / Mbps for USA or $15 Mbps Canadian - they are still averaging an 80% margin.

                The fact is that Cogent built a better mouse trap from the beginning and now with the debt load that both Level 3 and GBLX (as well as others) its getting close to their times to start to dying off.
