I would agree with that "no provider is 50% of the internet" if you by that mean no provider has 50% of all internet traffic. I do however think it's possible that in some provider networks, 50% (or close to it anyway) of the traffic coming into the network from customers, exit on a customer port. This of course doesn't necessarily mean that 50% of the traffic sent to your customer comes from other customers (that I find very unlikely). /nco
