Please recall that the $10K/year is on top of a _required_
connection directly to a CIX POP. In Colorado, that
connection alone at T1 would cost almost $60K/yr. $70K
_is_ prohibitive in most cases.
On the otherhand, a SprintLink T1 in Colorado costs
$42K/yr for both the T1 haul and route. Almost half.
