At that point a pizza parlor owner says to himself "two out of every five of my customers are on the Internet. Perhaps I need a web page."

Precisely.
A *big* difference. Unless we're willing to go back to regulated monopolies geographical locality makes little difference in overall traffic patterns.
How do you say "bullshit" in Russian? C'mon, Vadim. As the Net, and the Web in particular, grow more geographically dense -- IE: as there _is_ more local stuff for users to look at -- they _will_; people are natively more interested in that which is near to them geographically. And unless we unload that traffic from the backbones and the NAP's, _it_ will be what melts down the net. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
