Much of what someone considers a "major network" IMHO depends on how you scope them. Maybe you don't care about things not on your continent. Maybe you don't mind having a different ASN in Asia/Europe. Maybe you don't need to connect in Australia with the same routing policy. The real answer is "it depends", and your criteria may not be the same as someone else. - Jared
