I'm already working on NYC. For Chicago an OC3 connection to AADS would
cost more than the long-haul back to Toronto. I also prefer ethernet
peering instead of ATM. Equinix looks like the best option in Chicago,
but most long-haul carriers are in 600 Federal and not 350 Cermak.
As for Akamai, I've found very little of my traffic (<5%) is
Akamai. Akamai is at NYIIX anyway, so once I get into 25 Broadway I'd
peer with them.
