Study: Most Internet traffic bypasses tier-one networks
Telephony Online
By Ed Gubbins

The majority of Internet traffic now goes through direct peers and  
does not flow through incumbent tier-one telecom networks, according  
to a recent report from Arbor Networks, which sells network management  
and security products.

Tier-one incumbents were once the chief providers of connectivity  
between content companies like Google and local or regional broadband  
providers like Comcast. But over time, Google and other content  
providers have built out their own infrastructure, connecting more  
directly to end users and bypassing those tier-one intermediaries.
