Eh - their ITSP interconnection service which they don't really talk about on 
their website since the product is kind of new seems relatively interesting. It 
adheres to the same sort of centralized infrastructure that exists in the PSTN 
but there's many circumstances where many of us CLECs exchange calls across it 
without charging each other anything (bill and keep), even big ones like 
Comcast. I'd say probably 1/3 to 1/2 of our traffic ends up never touching RBOC 
equipment.

(As for intralata and interlata traffic, well that's a different monster and 
we're gravitating toward bill and keep on that, kicking and screaming the whole 
time)

I think getting a combined trunk group with all your calls on it is a big 
enough game changer to at least call it PSTN 1.5. :)
