Re: Have you been bought by a telco yet?

What's up with this statistic?

"The merger of ICG and Netcom offers a strategic fit across-the-board in technology, target markets and geography ," said J. Shelby Bryan, president and CEO of ICG, in a statement. "The new company will enjoy a particularly strong competitive advantage in California, where approximately 30 percent of the world's Internet traffic either originates or terminates."

I'd believe 30 percent of the US's Internet traffic either originates, terminates, or is exchanged between providers in CA, and another 20-30% in the NYC<->DC corridor, heavily weighted towards DC, of course.
