Telecom has recently been reported in the media as saying it is seriously looking at and now supports the concept of local internet interconnection. Rumours abound of a June/July timetable.

Ah, yes, but will it be neutral peering?
As in the same policy for everyone?
Or will their marketroids lead the charge yet again with the concept of charge-by-the-byte peering
I have some grey hair so memory might fail me but I don't recall either telco ever charging by the byte for a peering session. Consumer land sure, but that's a completely different matter. jamie
