Pay to be removed from block list?

Here's something that popped up on the Exim users list. Apparently, there's a new blocking list that charges US$25 to remove entries from its database: http://www.mailabusedatabase.com/ Thought it might be of minor interest to NZNOG... -- Juha Saarinen - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

It's just been pointed out to me that these guys appear to have vanished. Anyone have some further details? I just need to know if I should remove them from the Noc and Ape webpages. Their phone numbers are all disconnected and the domains don't look very healthy either. Simon. -- Simon J.

There is a widespread movement in intergovernmental organisations (APEC TEL, APT, ITU-T, ITU-D) attempting to first measure international traffic (nothing wrong with that), second assess who benefits (by some yet to be determined means), and then through some regulatory mechanism institute a 'fairer' cost sharing mechanism. There is no prize for essays outlining the numerous pitfalls in all of this. At the same time, there is some evidence that NZ is quite disadvantaged cf US operators by the present 'smallest ISP/carrier carries all the connnection costs' system. For example we have some very new survey results indicating that 18% of NZ firms with 50+ staff locate their web sites off shore (presumably, mainly in the US). Having better peering systems world-wide would not actually assist NZ much in this as we face the same problem with links to Australia and Asia as we do to the US. Nevertheless, saner peering would reduce costs overall and increase reliability, decrease latency, etc. I would very much appreciate anyone with information relating to influences on current traffic flows and especially regulatory effects, such as the regulatory system in India which prevents local peering, contacting me directly.

RPSL on rs2.ape.net.nz - a request for help.
by Simon Blake 21 May '02

21 May '02

Hi Folks ASJL and I are working on RPSL on the second route server on APE, we're investigating ways of making the route servers better, stronger, more trustworthy, and easier to use for the ISP's out there. To that end, we need as many peers advertising routes into the route server as we can lay our grubby mitts on. So, a request please - if you're on APE, can you set up a peering session with 192.203.154.2 on ASN 9560, and drop me a line with your prefix list in it. At this stage, I'd recommend ignoring everything you receive from the route servers.
