Commodity service from a commodity provider. As much as I'd love for Verizon to offer BGP directly over FIOS there are fewer than 40,000 customers worldwide for such a service. As long as they maintain sufficient network neutrality to get high speed tunnel service with someone and run BGP over the tunnel their behavior is not outrageous. To facilitate this and all the folks with custom needs, a wireline provider should have a choice between unbundling and open settlement-free peering. Mandatory to do at least one. But that's a whole other can of worms. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D. Herrin ................ herrin@dirtside.com bill@herrin.us 3005 Crane Dr. ......................
