Re: Airplane crashing into Atlanta-NAP

[Avi Freedman <freedman () netaxs com>]

Could we stop this, please?
Either Netrail's NAP will be useful or it won't be.
It'll be useful as a local exchange if local providers go.
It'll be useful as a place to sell transit of transit providers go.

It'll be useful as a place to offload huge chunks of Internet traffic
between larger providers only if they go, which they don't seem to
be interested in yet.
