    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">With transit prices dropping all the
      time. Im not sure how long the Sydney IX's can hold on. I don't
      believe they are two financially competitive right now. Im sure im
      not allowed to publicly say how much we pay for the pipe IX but
      needles to say it's only a small amount per meg cheaper then what
      we pay for transit from others and traffic seems to be falling on
      our pipe peer. So lets just say the target is a moving one at the
      moment. Now if Telstra/Optus were to join an IX that would be a
      different story but we all know that's not going to happen. <br>
      <br>
      It would be nice if an IX was available without to many ongoing
      costs (it's a layer 2 switch port after all)  however with
      interconnect pricing (global switch meet me etc) all this adds
      up.  <br>
      <br>
      There seems to be more value in pooling smaller ISP's together  to
      go to transit providers as a group. We have had some success
      negotiating some better prices in that situation. <br>
      <br>
      As to the fight between PIPE/VOCUS It sounds like interesting
      gossip The business man in me says this is their  business but the
      bitch in me wants the dirt. Now if you will excuse me
