      I’m not talking about exchange to premises, this is between ISPs and whoever is routing between cities and countries. Customers get charged for maintenance between the ISP and their house, but there’s the whole internet backbone that ISPs hook into that requires maintenance.

        This is shameless double-dipping by entrenched monopolists.
