agreed, in the majority of the cases. on the other had, implementing the
FUSSP jrace proposed would cost mci (or any other carrier) revenue as they
would be seen as frothing-at-the-mouth fanatics that present a business risk
when used for upstream transit even for folks that run clean networks and
deal with abuse complaints properly.
