I don't think that was a given here. It's an appreciable amount of
voice traffic on AT&T.
I'm guessing there is a lot of traffic that stays local to the LEC,
wireless carrier, whatever, plus the traffic that goes inter-company
but doesn't touch AT&T. I'm further guessing that the total traffic
that doesn't touch AT&T is much larger than the traffic which does
touch AT&T today.
But those are just guesses. Anyone know where you can find data on
such things?
