Thanks.

Although they are not absolute cases, are they "typical" cases, i.e., do 
they apply to most of the cases? I know "typical" is not well defined, but 
I am kind of curious about the likelihood of the happening.

A related question. Is there any sources I can look more about such 
issues?

it is not safe to assume that routers A & B, each belonging to a
different isp and each in a different colo in the same city are not
otherwise interconnected.

what if the two providers to which i want to connect are not at the same
ix but i can get a cheap L2 transport to the second ix?
