The two companies have recently collaborated on extended networks in Europe. From the article:
BICS, a global provider of wholesale carrier services, has announced Hurricane Electric, which claims to own the ‘world’s largest IPv6-native internet backbone’, has signed an agreement to use the BICS Pan European Network (PEN) 2.0 system to connect major European cities. BICS’ 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) network will enable Hurricane Electric to meet growing bandwidth requirements whilst keeping operating expenses down. Hurricane Electric is connected to 75 major exchange points and exchanges traffic directly with more than 3,200 different networks. BICS owns and operates 9,000km of fibre in Europe with a cable landing station in Marseille accessing the Europe India Gateway (EIG) and SEA-ME-WE 4 submarine cable systems.
