There is one scenario where the content.provider is paying the carrier as well - when the content.provider is a direct customer of the carrier, rather than being either a SFI-peer or a customer of an SFI-peer. This of course goes back to the question of depeering/transit/etc which we beat to death a couple of weeks ago - many carriers want to get paid both by the sources and sinks of traffic (it's certainly an understandable, if unlikely, desire). I would just like to point out for the record that none of the recent depeering battles have involved any RBOCs... -David Barak __________________________________ Yahoo!
