| Distinct from | arnold2021corrigendum A paper and its corrigendum, both in ACM Internet Measurement Conference proceedings a year apart. Not the same work and neither reprints the other, but a reader who takes findings from the 2020 paper without the 2021 correction is reading uncorrected results. The corpus has no link kind for 'corrected by', so it is said here. |

Abstract
The Tier-1 ISPs have been considered the Internet's backbone since the dawn of the modern Internet 30 years ago, as they guarantee global reachability. However, their influence and importance are waning as Internet flattening decreases the demand for transit services and increases the importance of private interconnections. Conversely, major cloud providers -- Amazon, Google, IBM, and Microsoft-- are gaining in importance as more services are hosted on their infrastructures. They ardently support Internet flattening and are rapidly expanding their global footprints, which enables them to bypass the Tier-1 ISPs and other large transit providers to reach many destinations.
