Is this you as an enduser doing this much? or your

My point was those transit costs are paid already, in
fact, in this
era, we ("we" being the folks who have bought the fat pipes)
pay for
more bandwidth than we can use at the moment. I am suggesting
that in
the absence of hard data about regional traffic flows (and I've
been
looking for this data for several years), we are just speculating
that
regional interconnectivity is urgent (or even needed).

Keep local traffic, "Local". Simple. We cannot keep

It's not a small matter, believe
me, I've tried to implement it.

similarly have a lot of inter-Regional traffic,
I would greatly
appreciate any hard data you have on this traffic.
