One interesting note is that UUNET does peer with CW itself in number of new locations, for example big peering point for both of them is Equinix in San Jose. Since I can't imagine those companies going there just to peer with each other, they must have number of other peers their as well... Equanix people - do you want to comment on this?
No, thats why they went there (well that and to sell transit). :) It's a lot cheaper and easier to get a crossconnect done within 48 hours then it is to get a metro OC12. Multiply that by the number of people they do peer with, and it adds up to a lot. -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras@e-gerbil.net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras PGP Key ID: 0x138EA177 (67 29 D7 BC E8 18 3E DA B2 46 B3 D8 14 36 FE B6)
