I completely agree. In fact, I don't like the practice any more than the
next person on NANOG. I do, however, like the idea of sustainable growth.
I think they should, in the case of the Indian intercontinental
fibre fiasco, light up another fibre or two but I don't think lighting
them /all/ up right now is a smart move. I think there's really a nasty
balance issue and the people who will most complain are the poor
end users who end up with shoddy performance and unreliable uplinks.
