I forwarded something on this several days ago and I'm going to badger you once more about it.

On Tuesday 10 July, InternetNZ is holding a one-day conference in��Auckland to discuss issues related to the technical architecture and��technical policy of ultra-fast broadband and fibre networks.


This is a chance for members of this group to meet with folks they often don't catch up with from the larger telcos and other industry players. We've got a couple of good speakers:

Lev Gonick, Chief Information Officer of��Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, USA
Geoff Huston, Chief Scientist at APNIC

and a chance to have some serious discussion about

Technical Architecture
Connectivity vs. Content
UFB product specifications

Technical Policy

Keeping local traffic local - peering and interconnect
Domestic and international IP transit
