Wow Randy, you really misunderstand the situation in Europe and the
reasons behind the horizon expansions, and I'm surprised by your
advocacy of American hegemony in a market where that really doesn't
exist (those of independent not-for-profit internet exchanges).
If only you worked for a company that allowed you input into the
decision processes of all these member-driven associations!
