PSINet: Nur weg aus Bayern

Der weltgrösste Provider zieht seine Server vom Standort München ab, um sie
dort aufzustellen "wo der Gesetzgeber kapiert hat, dass Provider Content nicht
kontrolliern können."
Nebenbei wurden vier ISPs im Gesamtwert von einer halben Milliarde Schilling
aufgeschnupft.

The decision was announced after PSINet's general manager in Germany told the
Wall Street Journal that the firm needed to move some of its servers to places
where "the laws are international, and not Bavarian-like."

Because of the more conservative and restrictive atmosphere in Bavaria, PSINet
said some servers that store corporate and home users' Web sites will be
relocated to Amsterdam, London, and Paris--cities with more open-minded
Internet policies.

"We would rather house [our servers] in a location where legislation has
recognized that ISPs can't control content, rather than in a location that
poses criminal liability for information that flows over PSINet's network,"
said John LoGalbo, associate general counsel for PSINet.

Despite the relocation of its servers from the region, PSINet has emphasized
that it plans to continue its operations in Germany. The company will keep its
servers in other German regions running, and will maintain offices and staff in
the country.

HERNDON, VIRGINIA, U.S.A., 1998 JUL 7
PSINet Inc. [NASDAQ:PSIX] opened its checkbook and signed on the bottom line
for four Internet companies in the US, Germany, France and Hong Kong in
separate deals valued at a total of $46 million. The buys are part of PSINet's
plan to "expand its presence in the top 20 telecommunications markets
worldwide."

PSINet certainly had the cash to make its buys. Earlier this year, the company
completed a round of financing worth $600 million, PSINet officials said.

PSINet bought LinkAge in Hong Kong, SCII-CalvaPro in France, Germany's INX and
ioNET in Oklahoma. The new buys will contribute more than $23 million in
annualized revenue to PSINet's bottom, as well as bring over over 3,500 new
business customers and more than 20,000 new small office/ home office (SOHO)
and dial-up customers, officials said.
