[1st-mile-nm] Meet Copowi, the world's first ISP to guarantee network neutrality: Page 1

[John Brown]

there are other "major owners"

You have ATT, Verizon (ex MCI), Global Crossing, Sprint, 360 Networks


what people don't understand or know is that many of these don't "break 
out" in NM.

for example you can not get IP transit from Level3 in NM.

its more complicated that most folks understand, and the layer 8 folks 
like to keep it that way......
