I second that thought. The metropolitan DC area is considered the
crossroads of the Internet; several of the largest service-providers
on this planet are located within a 5-mile radius of one another.
Also, the Internet Society and  the Corporation for National Research
Initiatives (CNRI, the IETF Secretariat) are both located here as
well.
