RE: [nznog] Indian government plans Internet exchanges
Someone with some spare hands on their time needs to lobby the government to make peering in NZ legislation.
Although TNZ and TCNZ will be wearing a lot of the network costs in terms of trunking traffic up and down the country, they also have most of the customers - so I think that's fair and justified.
Yes it is good idea. So why not also make the Govt responsible for the trunking between peering sites as well? ISPs could still organise private peering for priority traffic in this scenario. -- Regan

Hold on just a second. Who said /anything/ about 'trunking' between APE and WIX? I'm assuming that: a. The issue is that data is entering the TCL network over WIX, and exiting over customer connection in Auckland, or similar. b. The issue is NOT data entering the TCL network over WIX and exiting over APE. Surely some /very basic/ BGP can fix this, that is, if they think that their customers using their network is somehow a bad thing? -- Nathan Ward.

The point is that they feel they can increase revenue by stopping peering and they need to engineer a reason to do so. Claiming other ISPs are stealing bandwidth off them is a convenient excuse they can use so the exercise doesn't appear to be a naked money grab. There are plenty of people in T&T bright enough to adjust advertisements and filters so they don't trunk more traffic from one end of the country than they want to. -- Simon J.
