Hey All, It looks like NZ is the place to be! I am proud to announce that we have launched a new Internet Exchange in Auckland NZ, AKL-IX! We have just put a place holder page up with some information at http://www.akl-ix.nz http://www.akl-ix.nz/ IX Australia are the only independent Internet Exchange operator in Australasia, with 16 years experience running exchanges throughout the region. Unlike all other Internet Exchanges in the region, we are not for profit, and seek to serve our members, not our shareholders. We're already very far down the path of bringing some very interesting content providers and large NSPs online. We seek further participants who wish to take part during our start-up phase of operation. During the start-up phase no charges will apply to participants. We are in the process of connecting a number of peers currently. Peers will need to be present at 220 Queen St as this is our first live site. Interested parties can contact peering(a)akl-ix.nz to learn how to take part. For a list of participants will be available on the above website and on PeeringDB (http://bit.ly/1vRAvgZ http://bit.ly/1vRAvgZ) If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Regards Joe
