        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
