This might have something to do with it:
Contest Rules:
1. A minimum of 100 megabytes must be transferred a minimum terrestrial
distance of 100 kilometers with a minimum of two router hops in each
direction between the source node and the destination node across one or
more operational and production-oriented high-performance research and
education networks. Examples of such networks are Abilene, ESnet, CA*net3,
NREN and GEANT.
Production commercial networks need not apply, 'lest someone realize that
they blow away these speed records on a regular basis.
