I was almost tempted to keep UUNET off that list, as I don't think anyone
knows how hard MFS will push them to join all the Maes in order to attract
more business..  i.e., if MFS can get UUNET to join at x dollars, and
they perceive that by having UUNET join it will spawn n*x dollars in 
revenue, it may be in the overall goal of the parent company.  Strange..
Then again, I haven't seen any move by Sprint in a similar fashion i.e. if
you join Sprint NAP, Sprint will peer with you.

Are the big guys going to come?
How good is the Atlanta NAP, Mae-LA, Mae-Dallas, etc. if MCI, Sprint, ANS,
UUNET, BBNPlanet and PSI don't go there?

While your point is in general valid, UUNET is at MAE-Houston.
