I guess you mean 'only two types of _public_ exchanges'. The answer
we all come up with might very well be that exchanging traffic over
public media is just not a good idea. The network might very well
have gotten to the point that it just doesn't make sense to have such
a vital piece of it completely under a third parties control.
