Cogent has offered to exchange traffic with OT in a manner that is
cost-effective for both sides. OT said, "no, do it in a way that is more
expensive for both of us". Which one is making a reasonable effort to
exchange traffic with anyone else willing to make a similar effort? To me,
that is the standard by which connectivity should be judged.
