I don't know anything about what digital island is doing in particular, but for a long time people have struggled with the issue of how to offer better quality connectivity to sites off of their network. The communal nature of the Internet in times gone by provided altruistic desires (usually) to provide good connectivity, but as the quality becomes directly tied to cost, it is likely to suffer. I suspect that DI, like many other companies, is actively monitoring external sites to track, study, and hopefully improve connectivity quality to them. -alan Thus spake Christopher J.
