concluding remarks by Medici:

Maybe I'm being naive, but I don't see how the argument makes sense. If
Level-3 is upset because more traffic is coming in from Cogent than going
out, it must be because Cogent has more content to provide. So, if Level-3
cuts off its users from the content they desire, aren't they cutting-off
their nose to spite their face?

I don't see the end-game here going to Level-3's favor. For Joe Six-Pack, if
the road your on won't take you where you want to go, you get off onto

be to Cogent or to a neutral 3rd-party.
