Wow, Talk about kettle pots and black. Anyway. The above sounds like
bad management to me. Spending "5M a year" for a connection that
doesn't connect to anything seems a bit insane. Maybe arranging the
peering before such a large investment would pay off a little more?
If I was spending so much on a connection I would want to ensure that I was
getting my 5M worth.
