Depends on your definition of provider. I'm just saying that there
appears to be room for another tier of provider in between the local ISP's
and the national/global NSP's. NAP's and exchange points are popping up
all over the place these days; it is only a small extension of the
exchange point concept to a business that provides city-wide backbones
(or meshes).
It won't work everywhere, but it will work in some places and it will
help control the growth of routes and that is good.
