Uhm, how many pan-European _fiber_ owners is there? Not that many. Most of that over capacity was bought from KQ in Europe... COLT, Telia, Dynergy, BT Ignite [I think], Level 3, LDcom, others. KQ was excellent at marketing themselves as the only company who had pan-European fibre but

Yes one of the myths that I used to hear was that COLTs european network relied upon KQ, which it didn't. The other issue is local network As ex-KQ I agree with you. But there where plenty of others. access of course, its fine having these huge fibre networks that are point to point, but

That said, their current policy of refusing to accept de-aggregated prefixes from peers (while accepting such from paying customers) makes perfect sense, IMHO. Not arrogant, just a smart reasonable business decision. You could turn this around and ask what reasons there are to not

Add in the fact that optical sniffing, while not impossible by any means today, will increasingly become non-trivial as bandwidth increases. Which is exactly one of the 'problems' they expect optical network to solve. You mean just expensive, right? i.e. a couple transponders and an OC48
