This is how corporate control of the inet is bad

This "peering" is what called this. Because they decided to block each other..that also meant the internet ability to route around the outage was also blocked by sprint and cogent...neither would allow each other's traffic to get to the other. This article makes it look like sprint's fault but more determined research online shows Cogent to be the cumprit..not sprint. The blackhole caused by this was the fault of both companies not allowing the traffic to route around the outage like the internet was supposed to do.
