Telecom have gone and started something here. De-peering is definitely worse than being anal about your DNS, but I think it stinks. The Internet in NZ has lost a lot of it's former free love. :P Us down here in Christchurch pay an almighty sum to a handful of providers to get bandwidth down here, and we don't put these kinds of restrictions in place. In Auckland where bandwidth flows like water, they really must be desperate to save some traffic and hardware costs.
I guess the customers don't see the backhanded business that goes on in the technical world, so nobody is loosing face over it. Perhaps Juha could write it up. ;)
Sounds like of micromanagement to me. - Drew
