Except the poster needs a T1 to the Internet. MCI tried the same crap on TIAC but we had the clout to overcome the obsticle. MCI told us that the reason for the moratorium is their infrastructure is 90% saturated and they need time to expand their backbone.MFS does not provide T1 service to the net. They can get you to the MAE sites, but peering agreements are not easy to come by. T1's are easy....T1's to the net are getting harder to come by. TIAC is making inroads into connecting directly to the MAE-east NAP. The barriers to market entry for new ISP's are growing. When I started TIAC 2 years ago, I had no trouble in assembling the technology and service to get it off the ground. Perhaps TIAC should spearhead a Boston NAP. Any other competitors want to comment?
