circuits in the states are more painful than northern europe, japan,
etc. a bunch of smaller isps in the states were annoyed at equinix's
domination of the east coast markets so encouraged some european
community exchanges to colonize. what they did not do was offer to
subsidize any surprizes in expense, gaining a market foothold, etc.
this is sometimes known as "let's you and him fight."
