One more thing, that reason we and a lot for others don't go with the last
logical choice (why not they will not peer until end of summer) is that
they will only sign a 1 year contract. They will also not peer with
customers, so getting a connection into Sprint to get Sprint routes is a
bad idea. You move from not being able to peer for a few months to not
being able to peer for a year.
