[c-nsp] Verizon's PIP service

[jp]

No company owns all the infrastructure to get around the world.

For example the undersea cables are commonly investor owned, installed 
by one company, maintained by another, and used by a variety of 
carriers. Things like the FLAG or SEA-* cables. Surely not the case 
here, but AT&T either did or does a lot of the ship-based 
repair/construction work on undersea cables, and has a fleet of ships 
around the world waiting for a problem to respond to. Probably differnet 
companies are incharge of things on land too.

I'm trying to figure out which service providers have a national reach and fully contain/control their own MPLS clouds without relying on one another for transport.
