How do you say "bullshit" in Russian? C'mon, Vadim. As the Net, and the Web in particular, grow more geographically dense -- IE: as there _is_ more local stuff for users to look at -- they _will_; people are natively more interested in that which is near to them geographically. And unless we unload that traffic from the backbones and the NAP's, _it_ will be what melts down the net. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
