I believe that if you examine the UUNet requirements, it states: First: 1.2 Traffic Exchange Ratio. The ratio of the aggregate amount of traffic exchanged between the Requester and the WorldCom Internet Network with which it seeks to interconnect shall be roughly balanced and shall not exceed 1.5:1. and second: 1.4 Traffic Volume. The aggregate amount of traffic exchanged in each direction over all interconnection links between the Requester and the WorldCom Internet Network with which it desires to interconnect shall equal or exceed 150 Mbps of traffic for WorldCom-US, 30 Mbps of traffic for WorldCom-Europe, and 5 Mbps of traffic for WorldCom-ASPAC While it is theoretically possible that this could be achieved with no customers (e.g. CNN, or Yahoo), I think it is highly unlikely that both parts of the equation would hold up. What would a publisher possibly be a receiver of that would equate to 100mbs in the US? And if they did, why would they have local access points in 15 states?
