Because you could *gasp* be intelligent with your network design and do
things like purchase transit from the same carriers in both your serving
markets.

I guess you don't consider redundancy to be intelligent.  I do.  I guess
you can call me stupid.

Carriers is a plural word.. How does that not accomplish redundancy again?

As I pointed out in my last post, I can't.  And even if I could the
economics of doing it don't make sense.

If economics don't matter, then the most intelligent network design would
be a redundant OC192 mesh, but I don't know even one network that does
that.
