I believe that this isn't an accurate characterization.  From the data that
I've seen, most routes are being used.  However, I could easily believe that
many, many routes could be eliminated if we were able to aggregate
maximally.

Dino, if you have pointers to primary data sources to the contrary, could
you please post them?
