That's what I believe, too. And along with that, we have people
hungry for incremental revenue to pay for infrastructure upgrades and
go beyond the 'little Cu wire that could' *cough*. To me, those are
fundamentally incompatible business models.. so, it'll be interesting
to see how that one shakes out.

You realize that spelling out that 4 letter (well, 3+1) word on nanog
is like screaming fire in a crowded theatre, followed by no less than
2 wks of debate over the merits of multihomed toasters. ;-) We all
desperately need multipathing to ascertain the burntness of one's pop
tarts.

Yes. That is very true. And question is what will happen with
liability once even more clue exempt manufacturers will enter the
ring. Capitol hill seems hell bent on wanting to tag ISPs (or BITS!
*groan*) with that liability.
Somehow, it feels like the wild west days are over. Or am I just
getting old? I think when inet turns into a pstn regime, I'll switch
to basket weaving.
Best regards,
Christian
