Does anybody have some numbers they're able to share? In the "two small ISPs
in the boonies" scenario, *is* there enough cross traffic to make an
interconnect worth it? (I'd expect that gaming/IM/email across town to a friend
on The Other ISP would dominate here?) Or are both competitors too busy
carrying customer traffic to the same sites elsewhere (google, youtube, amazon,
etc)? Phrased differently, how big/small a cross-connect is worth the effort?
