Sprint peering policy

Tue Jul 2 01:54:32 UTC 2002

My math shows ~500bps per US citizen:
Assuming 150,000,000,000 bits and 280,000,000 citizens.

Oversimplifying the model, this works out to ~500 kbps per US citizen.
Allowing for burstiness, I offer 50 GB/mo transfer as conservative for
said bandwidth level.  (I need to start pumping more traffic to catch up
to my personal fair share!)

Interesting point.
