This isn't something I really care to make a big argument of, but my point
was that for many ISPs, the path will go from:

   SELF - EXODUS

to:

   SELF - OTHER BACKBONE - C&W

for a net increase in average path length.  That is, of course, a gross
generalization.  And not anything I'm trying to make a big point of.
