I forwarded something on this several days ago and I'm going to badger you once more about it.

On Tuesday 10 July, InternetNZ is holding a one-day conference in Auckland to discuss issues related to the technical architecture and technical policy of ultra-fast broadband and fibre networks.

See www.internetnz.net.nz/intac

This is a chance for members of this group to meet with folks they often don't catch up with from the larger telcos and other industry players. We've got a couple of good speakers:

Lev Gonick http://www.case.edu/its/about/levgonick.html, Chief Information Officer of Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, USA Geoff Hustonhttp://www.apnic.net/publications/research-and-insights/geoff-huston, Chief Scientist at APNIC

and a chance to have some serious discussion about

Technical Architecture

Connectivity vs. Content UFB product specifications

Technical Policy

Keeping local traffic local - peering and interconnect Domestic and international IP transit

and I'll be presenting information about work we've been doing at InternetNZ on a "Network Measurement Lab" for NZ. So I'd encourage you to make the effort to get there. The networking drinks scheduled at the end of the event will include 'beer'. andy
