Well I'm sure I exaggerated; however, see

1) globalcenter.net

and

2) globalcenter.net

I can't find the number that I was claiming but it was some large percentage of the commercial web traffic. According to 2 they handle Yahoo (and I would assume now geocities) along with Jeeves, Mining Co. etc. According to 1) they were serving 72 GHits per month in early May.

So I'll stand by the sentiment of my prior note: the FRO GlobalCenters seem to be a valuable asset in their own right especially given that vertical application build-out as well as horizontal bandwidth build-out is necessary to field a competitive QWST.
