Well, there is one issue with this Telecom statement. Global Gateway ( Telecoms wholesale arm ) does NOT peer in Wellington at all. Xtra on the other hand does peer at ape and wix. Infact GG sells domestic transit bandwidth to ISP's, but has never had any redundant connectivity to it's peers whatsoever. -----Original Message----- From: Paul Brislen [mailto:Paul_Brislen(a)idg.co.nz] Sent: Friday, 28 November 2003 10:26 a.m. To: Andy Linton traffic volumes to withing "a few percent" overseas. He gave me the example of a company in Wellington wanting to shift a lot of traffic to Auckland. They peer with Telecom at WIX and Telecom pays for the transport to Auckland. He would rather they peer in Auckland and pay someone to transport the data that far.
