On the other hand, I understand transit is a commodity, but not sure I want to see what happens when a "too big to fail" company goes under, in countries that have heavily-privatized backbones.
Happened here in Canada with Teleglobe. All their assets (mainly buried fiber links) were purchased for cheap by Tata Communication, which has been growing since.
The paper is totally opposite (but make sense to me with increasing fiber deployed) what Cloudflare is saying[1] and the reason for removing PoPs from their free and pro plans
