Summary: Alternatives to long distance

What would seem desirable is a means for communicating between backbone
hosts other than by using phone service.  For example, a few sites inter-
connected via the ARPANet could greatly reduce this expense.  Our site
currently uses TCP/IP for incoming and outgoing news using the DOD Internet
as the medium.  A few well placed hosts homed to both the Internet and
USENET could go a long way in reducing some of the major long distance
tolls between backbone sites.
