What I've found interesting is the cost of circuits seem to not be =
distance-sensitive. I think this will contribute to mega-regional =
peering for the foreseeable future.
(ie: dc, sj, dfw, chi, nyc, etc=85)
Unless these costs come closer to reflecting a balance then I suspect we =

people had bgp capable devices in those locations, while they were big =
and had traffic, the gear for running bgp just wasn't there.
