Could you explain how the PSI/C&W peering fracas has /anything/ to do with Nth percentile billing?
Sure, allow me to connect the dots. 1. The existence of common "peering" relationships can be attributed to the lack of any standard basis for a transaction in the Internet environment. 2. The existence of nTH percentile billing can be attributed to the lack of any standard basis for a transaction in the Internet environment. Therefore: 1. The PSI/CW scenario is a relfection of an inequitable relationship. Stand in awe of the effeciency. 2. nTH percentile billing is a reflection of a hierarchy of inequitable relationships. At least, thats my opinion. Regards, James
