This is what we need from NANOG. More interconnects around the US. And
maybe there should be a WNOG (world) :) To help get things running around the
world. I recieved an email from a company in Switzerland and they say they are
paying about 1,000,000 ($US) for their 'two' T1s to the internet per year. If
there are more open exchange points, less hops to get somewhere, the net might
become nicer. (no I don't mean using ATM to make it look like less hops.)
