I guess it was only a matter of time. The Keynote/Boardwatch Internet Backbone Index http://www.keynote.com/measures/backbones/backbones.html I'm not going to comment on the methodology flaws, but it does show what will fill the information gap. I do like the line "The world's fastest network provides good service to its users only if it does a good job of connecting to the rest of the Internet." Unfortunately I don't think this study really shows that. -- Sean Donelan, Data Research Associates, Inc, St. Louis, MO Affiliation given for identification not representation

I was actually at an ATM convention today, and SAVVIS had the study all over their booth. Either they got an early release copy, or they were fast on their feet getting it printed out a few bazillion times. I was semi-amused by some of the things that were on display at the trade show, such as one Internet Provider who had some things up on their monitors which said "Proprietary and Confidential" at the bottom. Who would put proprietary and confidential information on display at a trade show? ObAboutTopic: This is possibly the most flawed study on the planet. Remind me to get a fast web server. (And to think, we were going to put our web server in our office, behind a T-1, instead of in real estate near where the real bandwidth is that could be used for customers.). Oh well. ********************************************************* Justin W.
