Perhaps you can tell me where PSI connects, good sir... By my count it's MAE-East and CIX and nowhere else. There are a few major backbones not at the Chicago NAP. And none of the majors are at MAE-Chicago or any of the MAEs other than East and West.
PSINet connects to MAE-west, MAE-East, MAE-East+, CIX, and the SWAB (little known SMDS Washington (DC) Area Bypass).
