We have several customers that buy EoMPLS circuits from us both within
and outside of countries, and between continents. The reasons vary, but
safe to say they've been happy.

Yes, I rather think that you've drawn comparison to "consumer" as being
in a home somewhere.

Someone that consumes a circuit, and someone that provides the service
(or resells one). A business customer is a consumer in that case - I
won't discriminate against what use someone has for wanting to consume
bandwidth between countries, but I do think the specificity here is in
whether you intend to just use it, or resell it, and that's where the
difference comes in relation to Robert's point.
