What is the carriers' incentive to show up -- peer? -- at such > points, rather than following today's practices? It doesn't require POPs per se, but that might be the simplest implementation. It does require some form of peering agreement for a service region which could be implemented with traditional transit arrangements. The incentive question is still open though. One incentive would be the trade-off against a routing swamp, but by itself that is probably not enough. Another incentive might be to stave off the recurring threat that the ITU/Governments could impose worse approaches. If I had an answer to the incentive question it would probably be easier to make progress. Tony
