When the NAPs were first being considered it was assumed from day one that the CIX and other interconnects would continue to exist. As such, there is not a requirement for "small US players" to directly connect to a NAP. Many have pointed out that there are alternate means to get the connectivity they need, and alternatively it appears that many of the NAPs offer lower than DS-3 speed connectivity. Given your premises are not quite sound, it would appear that "Is this anti-competative or what!" can be answered to the negative. cheers, peter - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
