I charge you for the Coke ? and the Fries separate from the Burger ? or do you want to do a Combo Package ?
Most people often forget that for a Tier 1 provider, there is NO COST of IP TRANSIT.. the cost is all but the cost of infrastructure, maintenance and operations... So, weather it is translated into a 'pay for DIA' or pay for 'Port' it is all a matter of presentation. Is the internet access going to go to Zero Cost ? NO it is not (ever !) Is the 'premium' charge for internet access going to become negligible ? Yes it is ... My 2 cents worth ... BTW, we will be more than happy to sell IP Transit out of our POP's for less than the rate we pay for to our UPstreams !
