OK, I'll stick my net out and ask as question. Bill says:
Why this is _should_ be attractive to larger ISPs :-) is that it
means they themselves should actually have to carry less traffic. If
they choose to peer with us, they can dump traffic directly into each
of us via PCH. If they don't peer with us, they have to use a transit
carrier (Sprint to reach me, or Net99 to reach Mainstreet, in the
example above) and pay a settlement to that carrier.
-----
Question: I thought that at this point sprint, net99, mci, were among
what i have called the club of 6 who sell transit to smaller folks to
everywhere else without trying to do settlements between each other?
Right?
If I am wrong, would someone please explain in detail why.
