In case anybody here isn't subscribed to the APE list, and is interested, the first production routes were exchanged over the neutral peering point in Auckland's Sky Tower today, between Plain Communications and CLEAR. On Tue, Aug 10, 1999 at 12:03:21PM +1200, Matthew Grant wrote:
Hi There!
IF you want to know who I am, I am the Network Administrator for Plain Communications (http://www.plain.co.nz/), an ISP down in Christchurch.
We are on the APE, and are just conducting initial BGP pairing trials with Clear. They are going satisfactorily, and we will be initiating full peering with them probably this afternoon, if not tomorrow.
My primary motivation for this announcement is to encourage you all, and to get things moving along.
If you are ready to peer with us on APE, or if you wish to please get back to me as we are ready for it.
Plain Communications carries approx. 150 of New Zealand's National WWW sites, which is probably a significant proportion of the National total of larger WWW sites (I am trying to exclude personal home pages here).
I hope that this is helpful. Thank you for all your support in making APE possible.
Cheers,
Matthew Grant
