Re: Cogent cutting links to Russia?

If sanctions were to come out after payment was received but before services are rendered, most providers would still not be able to provide the service. It’s also likely that banks in question can no longer forward funds from Russia, even if it were still possible to provide a service. I’m not

Re: Cogent cutting links to Russia?

I think you're reading it incorrectly. The US government and many other countries have imposed sanctions against Russia and barred businesses in those countries from doing business in Russia.  Cogent is a US based company and, even if it operates on foreign jurisdictions through subsidiaries,

I would argue they don't have much of a choice: "The economic sanctions put in place as a result of the invasion and the increasingly uncertain security situation make it impossible for Cogent to continue to provide you with service." I would expect to see others follow suit if that is the case.

Re: Cogent cutting links to Russia?

Re: Cogent cutting links to Russia?

Re: Cogent cutting links to Russia?

Cogent already does not provide access to the Internet, only to parts of the Internet, so this just changes the perimeter of their Intranet. That said, it's more likely they are afraid of sanctions and/or not getting paid for services than ideologically motivated. Rubens On Fri, Mar 4, 2022 at
