Uh, if that's the case there may be another problem. I don't know what
Sprint's position is today, but I can tell you that when we signed our
transit deal with Sprint it was made rather clear that if we were doing
resale they <strongly> recommended that we join the CIX.
As I was intending to do so anyway, this was something that took all of
about 10 seconds of both of our time. I have no idea what would have
transpired between Bob Doyle and I if I had said "no" to the request.
Perhaps Sprint can clarify -- is this an actual <requirement>, or is
it a <suggestion>? :-)

That would be interesting.
CC'd to Bob Doyle.
