From: "Craig Spiers" If telstraclear, was to stop peering at APE, and remove 'ports and connections to there' wouldn't that limit them to only having 'domestic' data inside their own network?

This looks more like an attempt to change NZ from a Peering model to a Tiered model, perhaps Telstra think they have the best backbone in NZ and might be able to monopolise on it :)

I am not completely familiar with the WIX/APE Topology, is there a dedicated circuit between the two to carry domestic traffic?

If not, is it possible that domestic traffic could traverse both APE and WIX via TCL peering circuits to each?

We could all possibly grab every redundant 10mbit hub in NZ and connect them down SH1 through the north island and call it CountryLink ? Add up all those offcuts of Cat5 plus these redundant hubs, we could start our own national ISP with VoIP ;)
