If psi was in the position of offering to regionals an alternative
to using the NSF-NET for such traffic, this could be avoided  as most
regional members would find such service useful. Unfortunately, PSI
has made no statements of willingness to do this. Rather, PSI wants
to compete directly with the regionals for direct connections to 
end-users, or at least that is my understanding. 

Will PSI offer the alternative and cooperate with the regionals?
Is my understanding wrong? What of the other commercial providers?
