... and the type of customer.
DIA for a high-value "Enterprise" customer (think of a large
conglomerate) is typically more costly than DIA for a low-value
"Enterprise" customer (think of a family-owned travel & tour company).
The large global ISP's are making more money from "enterprise" business
than typical wholesale/transit services. This can support the idea that
DIA can be pricier than transit.
