I also favor it for an ISP because I need only one connection termination for the cloud, and I don't have to buy DSU's and routers and fan out cards. I could, if I wanted, terminate the T1 to the cloud at my NSP and have no real transport overhead, as an ISP offering FR end-pointing. For a 50% peak bandwith overcommit, I can charge about $80/Month in a US West service area. This is about $220/Month cheaper than ISDN and still leaves me $60k/year to run a support desk. If I increase my overcommit, or my charges, it gives me some slack, some profit taking, and some expansion capitol. It's the difference between buying an answering machine or the RBOC giving you voice messaging on your line with no extra cruft at your site.
