This is betting on ATM prices being low for a long time -- long enough for investments to ATM equipment to pay off.
From the point of view of ISPs which get lines at cost this
is a no-brainer choice. --vadim

Carriers lose money on that. When market will be established the prices are bound to rise to that of native IP transport, or, likely, more (as ATM does not handle levels of overcommitment found in IP backbones now). [...]
Hmmm... Does that imply that the NSP that can take advantage of underpriced services, (perhaps including ATM, if you are correct), will have a competitive advantage? -tjs
