      So, should CMH-IX go ATM?  Well, given the traffic 
levels I don't
think you could collect enough in fees to pay for an ATM 
switch.  On that
basis, ATM is a poor choice.  Again, it's a poor choice not 
because of the
technology, but because of the price points and products available.

If I have this correctly; You are saying that ATM is neither cost-effective
or cost-competitive with Gig-E?
