Mike,

<I think I understand what you are saying. Maybe a better question would be to ask, are there that many Titans out there that have places to plug port cards into? >

I believe there are a lot of Titans out there with empty port cards. I estimate that they are shipping approx 300k T1 ports each quarter into Titans in the field. (any one one with more accurate data please feel free to correct this)

<In other words, isn't it rare for a T1/T3 to be connected directly to the fiber backbone and bypass a digital cross connect altogether? >

It used to be rare but there is a lot of talk about overlay networks now-a-days that completely bypass Titans. Though I keep hearing this, I do not know how prevalent this is or how prevalent this will be in the next 3-5 years. Looking for knowledgeable folks to comment.
