Those same nodes also provide testing points for other operators who would like to segment network paths. Finally, the same nodes provide end users a test point via web browser tools via Java Applets that provide more detail than a simple SpeedTest.net result. We've not found the time to build shippable Mac Mini (or similar hardware) that we could send to the site that will automatically test to the nearest pS node. I think the functionality is there; we've just been too busy to fully explore that idea.
