I was talking to their peering coordinator for AsiaPac yesterday and they're not sure what to do about NZ and peering, because they have a global standard peering policy (www.mci.com/peering) that nobody in NZ would meet.
Am I the only person who finds this incredibly amusing? We have, on one side, TCL, who're determined to play the "peering game" like the big boys in the US do it (similar-sized players peering, and selling transit to smaller players), and, on the other side one of the true behemoths of international connectivity saying that not even NZ's largest player would meet T1-level peering requirements in the US. Does put TCL (and TCNZ) into perspective, really. Shame that beanies are generally incapable of seeing the situation in such terms. -- Matthew Poole "Don't use force. Get a bigger hammer."
