Maybe Gordon will correct me, but I as recall there are applicable
laws governing the use of federally funded networks. In fact, I
believe I remember seeing usage language in some HPCCI bill. Does
this allow gov't networks to join?

So CIX wishes to be viewed as a peer of ANS. Is it OK for ANS to
connect to CIX with a 19200 connection?

Read: No baby bells. No regionals. I hope I'm confused. Please
explain.
