Get Bill M's call on it..... Tiering was his Idea.
No. Vadim was the first person I heard talk about "tiering" and it was in the construct of Service Providers, not exchanges. I don't think anything I've said argues for the concept of tiers in relation to exchanges.
Circa 1995-6 , as I recall... right in the middle of the NO 53 wars... I could be confusing the origin, though.... Alas, I guess it doesn't really matter: A rose by any other name, smells just as sweet.
