Name a backbone which doesn't come into the San Francisco Bay Area.
Um, all of the rest of the world's providers.
Backbone, Scott. Backbone. You, Sprint, PSI, Alternet, Net-99, etc. All the rest of the world's providers are getting transit from some backbone. If all the transit backbones are in the area the problem is merely political.
They aren't... ICM, Pipex, and Dante to name three. Sprintlink may play nice and handle ICM, what do you plan to do to address the others? And for the next trick, how do you scale your solution to the next site? Does your solution require sites of all the backbone providers to be at each metropolitan exchange? Doesn't this put a limit in the number of providers that can do this? -scott
