DE-CIX lost in the highest administrative court which has to deal with
the intelligence services resp. its supervisory authority, the
Federal Ministry of the Interior (see [0] for a comprehensive report;
sorry German only).

Now DE-CIX went to the highest court, the Federal Constitutional Court.

Being able to tap at DE-CIX must be like being in cockaigne for
intelligence services ...
