Are they an NSP? Do they operate their own national backbone? Can they provide national transit over their own network infrastructure? Do they interconnect with other NSP's who satisfy the previous two conditions at most of the public exchange points?
Where public exchange points == {MAE-East, MAE-West, Pennsauken, PacBell NAP, Chicago NAP, and arguably the CIX router/cloud}. And NSPISP, NXIX, STIX, HKIX, D-GIX, F-GIX, CIXP, LINX, etc. etc. etc. Barry

No, the point is that {MCI, Sprint, ANS, UUNET, PSI, AGIS} would fail the test if you include all of the other, smaller, public exchange points.

A school district here has a (yet unfunded) plan to build a star of 56ks for the schools. A lot of major provider probably won't pull T3s to it at their own expense. Does that make them not part of the core? Just wondering where you draw the line. :-) Curtis
