I know people who have offered them hundreds of gigs of settlement free transit (including myself), but clearly they aren't interested. FYI a large number of their wholesale transit/paid peering customer agreements include clauses which prohibit the resale of services to other parties too. They don't want one person being able to buy capacity into their network, then provide it to others. Remember their goal isn't to save money on transit, it's to make the transit paths minimally functional so they can force content networks to buy from them directly (at above market rates, from what people tell me :P), so they don't WANT to add capacity or transit paths. -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras@e-gerbil.net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC)
