All of the major and minor carriers either have a bandwidth trading desk or an individual that handles the "BTO" As for caving into the Comptel Agreement (with Liquidated Damages, force majeuer, limitations of damages, ect) there are very few that have signed it (you can count them on one hand, even if you have worked in a flour mill).

Since there has been a revenue crunch over the last year, the trading business model is more attractive to carriers, as they can see an alternate method of securing revenue.

Also, some of the energy companies have issued predatory pricing, which, IMO, drove the long haul market rates further into the ground, thus forcing the carriers to take a closer look.

Reliant announced yesterday that they have provisioned their first long haul circuit through a LighTrade switch, but that might have been just an experiment rather than a real customer.
