The hard facts are that carriers want to make money hopefully so they will locate where the money is. My chances of having closely located customers is greater in Newyork City say than somewhere distant You either have to pull circuits to the carrier you want or settle for someone local much smaller and in many cases much more likely to fail. Top providers will be located in top markets, why that's where the business is usually.
