I'm already working on NYC.  For Chicago an OC3 connection to AADS would
cost more than the long-haul back to Toronto.  I also prefer ethernet
peering instead of ATM.  Equinix looks like the best option in Chicago,
but most long-haul carriers are in 600 Federal and not 350 Cermak.

As for Akamai, I've found very little of my traffic (<5%) is
Akamai.  Akamai is at NYIIX anyway, so once I get into 25 Broadway I'd
peer with them.
