As I've said before, I believe that this is going to push us in the direction of more and more NAPs so that everyone can do the hot potato routing thing as early and as often as possible.

Bingo! And this is precisely what is happening now as regional exchanges are being set up all over the place in Utah, Pennsylvania, Texas, the Phillipines and so on. Not to mention the number of large ISP's that are moving towards things like national frame-relay networks of their own. If you want to understand how this is all going to play out, study the shape of soap bubbles in a foam, the way to connect power systems in 4 cities arranged at the corners of a square using the shortest wires and the distribution of market towns in any of the ancient civilizations.
