 In April 1998 the company together with nearly all of the national European business partners of EUnet was sold to Qwest Communications International, which in turn later merged EUnet into the illfated joint-venture KPNQwest.In year 2000 it was estimated that KPNQwest was carrying more than 50% of European IP traffic.Some of the ISPs operating under the name EUnet today can be traced back to the original EUnet, some not.
