I think the point is, larger ISP's see themselves as the "national carrier" as opposed to having to buy from a de-facto "national carrier".

All this will mean is people will have to buy more domestic Bandwidth via their national carrier.
So... that's all fine then? No additional costs to be absorbed or passed onto customers, and performance will stay the same?
What I've seen is people 100% rely on their APE/WIX peering for the Bandwdith so if it goes down then they don't have enough bandwidth via their National Links via their Carrier (This is what happened to Trademe)
One way of looking at it, I suppose. -- Juha _______________________________________________ NZNOG mailing list NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog
