Before we flame Sargun for posting useless non sense, I figured I
would throw my opinions in.

I have seen great international results with some of the carriers you
currently have, but if you are adding a fourth which areas are you
looking to benefit most? Transatlantic/transpacific? I would suggest
VZ Biz for both, but if you are focusing on transpacific routes PCCW,
NTT, and ANC offer great pacific routes. Transatlantic: Telia,
Interoute, or KPN Qwest (which may just be KPN now).

Good luck,
Josh
