but they CAN enforce long existing contract law!
Level 3 didn't break their contract with Cogent. They had to give 60 days notice and they gave much more than that.

  US law can't force 2 private companies to connect their networks. That is a contractual agreement between the parties. If the FCC and/or the politicians see a problem here, then their only solution would be to create a government funded and built backbone network that all ISPs could connect to for a fee.
