[WISPA] Alternate transport providers, Cogent

[Rick Harnish]

George,

I have read this email three times and still can't determine whether you are
sincerely asking a question(s) or whether you are stirring the pot here.
Please clarify professionally.  I actually have been enjoying Matt's posts
this morning.  I found them to be very informative.  While we don't purchase
anything from Cogent, I still like to have my thumb on the pulse of the
whole industry, from top to bottom.

Widely known "where" Matt?

I'd like to know how you guys get the pulse of what everyone is thinking.

As for being the red headed step child nobody likes Mike, Do you think 
they actually "like" each other, especially one as aggressive as Cogent 
who is making the others drop their pricing?
