Eliot,
Government policy distinguishes between commercial and academic
traffic, not whether the source or destination is commercial or
academic. This is reasonable.
An alternative to the approach Ittai outlined earlier is for Regionals
to join the CIX to route their commercial traffic and have their
academic traffic continue to route over the 100% government paid ANS
backbone connection.

Thanks to Ittai for producing that note. I'd like to say that it's
*easy* to sign up with ANS. In fact, it may be too easy. Does a
regional have any TECHNICALLY FEASIBLE alternative if it also wants to
talk to the academic backbone?
