Of course they can sell transit. The reason they don't is that it has the potential to create a conflict of interest. When your customer is also a competitor and your customer suffers an outage that's your fault... Well, you see where this is going.

Over the coming years, I expect exchange points to do some strangely interesting things, as the towel of revenue continues to get tighter and tighter to squeeze. Especially so if a few of the large content providers continue to pull back from route servers and such. Mark.
