Are you saying that if one of these big > players has a moretorium on peering, it also does not do transit? One more thing, that reason we and a lot for others don't go with the last logical choice (why not they will not peer until end of summer) is that they will only sign a 1 year contract. They will also not peer with customers, so getting a connection into Sprint to get Sprint routes is a bad idea. You move from not being able to peer for a few months to not being able to peer for a year. Nathan Stratton CEO, NetRail, Inc.
