Because everyone's comcast would choke and die?
1 comments

it's ok-- amazon is a level3 customer and comcast refuses to upgrade the interconnect between their two networks* (even if level3 foots the bill), so it would choke no worse than it's already choking.

* technically level3 doesn't name them by name, but i wouldn't really consider it reading between the lines...

Amazon is a level 3 customer, but Amazon also has a direct connect with Comcast.
