Dan, Leah put her finger on it in her response, it is a change in the policy for a specific trading community. GXS has not changed anything with regard to the interconnect.
For those that are unaware of how the interconnects operate, every service provider involved usually has a paying customer, so normally an interconnect involves the sender's service provider and the receiver's service provider. Each partner pays their network, and the networks exchange traffic (usually via batches called mailbags, sent over FTP). A sender on GXS can always send via GXS, since they are a GXS customer. A sender on an interconnect can only send via GXS if the receiver is both a GXS customer, and has agreed to accept (and pay for) interconnect traffic from the partner. The message here is the result in a change of policy within a specific retail community, not within GXS. GXS is not refusing the interconnect traffic, your trading partner is, Regards ...
