Is there an industry standard regarding how much bandwidth an inter-carrier circuit should guarantee?
How are you going to come up with a standard that covers both the uplink from Billy-Bob's Bait, Fish, Tackle, and Wifi, where a fractional gigabit may be plenty, and the size pipes that got clogged in the recent Netflix network neutrality kerfluffle? And where your PoPs are (and how many) matters as well - if you have a peering agreement with another carrier, and you exchange 35Gbits/sec of traffic, the bandwidth at each peer point will depend on whether you peer at one location, or 5, or 7, or 15.....
