Peter,
It was never the intent for the NAPs to cover all inter-connectivity
requirements. When the NAPs were first being considered it was assumed
from day one that the CIX and other interconnects would continue to exist.
As such, there is not a requirement for "small US players" to directly
connect to a NAP. Many have pointed out that there are alternate means
to get the connectivity they need, and alternatively it appears that
many of the NAPs offer lower than DS-3 speed connectivity.
Given your premises are not quite sound, it would appear that
"Is this anti-competative or what!" can be answered to the
negative.
cheers, peter
