Yes Joe, it is wrong to say that.

Doesn't the company that builds the roads between Greenbelt and Baltimore offer 
quite a few alternative routes (Leased Lines, Frame-Relay, SMDS) capable of 
carrying some pretty *BIG* trucks (T1, T3). I guess those bigger roads have 
higher tolls but wouldn't you expect that it costs more to build a bigger road? 

So what you're really saying is that Digex is trying to fit thier BIG trucks 
down one of BAs little roads designed for smaller trucks because some obsolete 
tariff says they can. And now they are complaining about the road builder 
because the tires of their trucks keep falling off the edge of the road 
resulting in alot of flat tires, ultimately limiting their ability to deliver 
the furniture in a single day. 

Go figure...??
