Frank, > But to the best of my knowledge they do not allow transiting, from what I can see. Corrections welcome. What I see from the above observation is that they may be missing a business opportunity. If I'm an ISP and want my traffic to traverse another providers backbone because they are greasy fast I would expect to pay for that access. ATHM peers with other providers because it is in their best interest. Same thing with UUNet. As I understand it UUNet wouldn't peer with ATHM for a long time. At some point ATHM became significant and UUNet allowed peering. Why would any network provider provide transit except for profit? Do you know of a good reason that ATHM wouldn't sell transit? KB ps. SI servers painfully slow this morning.
