[Massivce discussions on Internet structure analogies deleted] The simple fact is that the net isn't backbone oriented anymore. The Internet is a network, a mesh. The difference between the participants is largely the quality, speed and position of the portion of the mesh that they own/control. If someone wants to spend the time to quanitify this, that's great, but I think it would be a waste of time and rather pointless. I think the bubbles/backbone/concentric circles analogies are all vast simplifications. I doubt that many people here are having any problems understanding how the net is laid out on the large scale. As Jeff Young pointed out, the S/N ratio is getting worse, not better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Clayton O'Neill Business--> Premier One Inc whatever () oneill net clayton () premier net http://www.oneill.net <--Personal http://www.premier.net
