It's also a shame that MCI and AT&T don't recognize internet mail addresses
for each other's systems and route them for you via X.400 (or whatever
transport mechanism they use), rather than making the user learn the
intricate details of their interconnection mechanism.
Transit of commercial e-mail over the Internet need not be "at someone
else's expense", either - if there is a preferred routing between the
two sites that travels over commercial IP networks (e.g. CIX member nets)
then there is absolutely nothing wrong with "cutting costs" by using
those facilities.
