I looked at that article, and it sounds kind of like a
old approach to a new problem. Go to X company who has
access to everything and you'll be set.
In the long term, it's going to cost lots of $ to
maintain a connection to every backbone ISP and
associated costs with each of those connections. I
don't know what they charge their customers, but for
local companies it may be cheaper in the long term to
run fiber and connect directly to their network
perhaps.
