Alternatively, two providers could peer via a { cell | packet }-
switched fabric, splitting the cost.

ISP1:  NYC, SJC, CHI
ISP2:  LAX, SJC, SEA

A cloud connects the five cities.  ISP1 and ISP2 split the cost,
and exchange traffic via the cloud.  Suddenly traffic ratios
become less important, and traffic levels become the primary
justification metric.
