I wonder if Ruth reads NANOG?

I knew that AT&T did this, but I never knew the name of the person

But who really knew Madonna tickets going on sale made up an

didn't.
I don't think that was a given here. It's an appreciable amount of voice traffic on AT&T.

I'm guessing there is a lot of traffic that stays local to the LEC, wireless carrier, whatever, plus the traffic that goes inter-company but doesn't touch AT&T. I'm further guessing that the total traffic that doesn't touch AT&T is much larger than the traffic which does touch AT&T today.

But those are just guesses. Anyone know where you can find data on such things?
