: I could be wrong, but I thought NSP was a term applied by the National
: Science Foundation for ISPs that provided inter-regional connectivity
: and connection to multiple NAPs.

: All NSPs are ISPs, but only a few (3) are NSPs.  Is that right?

Well ther are many more then 3. We are multihomed, are peering with 
several regionals, have a 10 meg connection into MAE-East (well, in about 
10 days), and provide access to several other ISP's. I would say net99 is 
a NSP just as we are, you not not need to connect with ALL the naps.
