I wish the world was so simple .. There is reasons why incumbents do not =

I am quite exasperated by the number of networks who believe they have a =

perhaps Peering sould be called it "limited cross-transit contract with =

Peering is an "abnormality" which regulators will have much need of help =

so more lobbyist to help Malcolm making sure they are kept at bay.
