I don't think that was a given here.  It's an appreciable amount of  
voice traffic on AT&T.

I'm guessing there is a lot of traffic that stays local to the LEC,  
wireless carrier, whatever, plus the traffic that goes inter-company  
but doesn't touch AT&T.  I'm further guessing that the total traffic  
that doesn't touch AT&T is much larger than the traffic which does  
touch AT&T today.

But those are just guesses.  Anyone know where you can find data on  
such things?
