Hi NZNOG,
Just a quick note to let you all know that NZIX is getting very close to having WLG-IX live, aiming for September. WLG-IX is starting out in two initial locations:
We will have 10G and 100G ports available from day one along with a 100G backbone between the two PoP's. We are accepting pre-orders now to enable initial peers to be ready to online for our (yet to be determined) official launch date. I can also confirm that we will operate the exchange without port fees for 12 months from the official launch after which WLG-IX pricing will be aligned with AKL-IX pricing.
If you want to pre order for WLG-IX you can use the members portal https://portal.ix.nz/.
Cheers,
Chris Browning
