Voice of reason...
The only possible reason I can think of is if these data networks
replace the present voice infrastructure. Think about it, if we
really all do replace our phones with some video screen like in the
movies, then yes, most of those calls stay local within the cities.
Mom calling son etc etc
So we can think of these "peering centers" as replacements for the
5-10 COs in most average cities.
Otherwise what apps require such dense peering.
