<p align="left">The telecoms world has moved on considerably since the heady days of the late 1990s. Back then networks were springing up all over Europe as the internet started to boom, and as deregulation carved open monopolistic markets, paving the way for the launch of competing services of all kinds.</p>
<p align="left">This was the era when, for the first time, operating a network didn’t necessarily mean you had to build it yourself. In fact you didn’t have to build anything at all. A pan-European network could be created, or certainly supplemented, through one or more Indefeasible Right of Use (IRU) agreements with the owner of a physical fibre asset, granting temporary ownership of a portion of that fibre’s capacity. The new service provider could use that IRU to assure their customers of international service on a long-term basis.</p>
<p align="left">The IRU was a quick way to get the job done, when there was a lot of pressure to get a network finished quickly and into lucrative service: “In the 90s, when there was lots of money going around, networks were being built all over Europe,” said Lucy Woods, CEO of VTLWaveNet, part of the Viatel Group, which operates a fibre route spanning the UK, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and Italy. “People were signing long-term IRUs of maybe 15 or 20 years. It was trendy to be virtual, like a Vanco.”</p>
<p align="left">But Woods believes that with a slew of these agreements imminently up for renewal, a potential iceberg lies ahead that few have figured out how to navigate... <a href="http://ems.euromoney.com/ems/r.asp?cIndex=749223&mIndex=1309251343&hurl=http%3A//www.capacitymagazine.com/Article/3119598/ANALYSIS-The-end-of-European-IRUs.html%3Fedit%3Dtrue%26eventcookielogin%3DLogin%26cookielogin%3D1" target="_blank">[read more] </a></p>
