<div dir="ltr"><div>I had the idea of Bandwidth as a Service (on demand), in general maybe 5 years ago when I asked the question "how do businesses restore from online backups when they are on slow internet?", and more recently specifically over megaport (I think I might have made a post about this before..?) a couple years ago, not long before someone came along and tried to set up global transit swapping/trading (google fails me, I think said person might have posted to ausnog..), but it turned out that the idea has been done 15 years ago! <a href="http://www.oecd.org/sti/broadband/1895041.pdf">http://www.oecd.org/sti/broadband/1895041.pdf</a> interesting read though I don't think band-x exists any more, or at least the service?</div>
<div> </div><div>I think the rise of SDN will see BaaS or spot trading (would be amazing to see IP transit futures on NYSE... LOL) come into being, there has to be money made out of it (even if its just hole selling or symmetry selling as per Skeeves video).</div>
<div> </div><div>I notice pacnet have taken the first step with <a href="http://pen.pacnet.com/">http://pen.pacnet.com/</a> which is very interesting indeed.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125);font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";font-size:11pt">Expanding your rationale, instead of purchasing overhead in transit speed, wouldn’t it be more efficient to source transit over megaport
(or other??) and pay per hour/day/month/whatever. Potentially even grabbing upstream from a ‘transit broker’ (I don’t even know if they exist?) that is a clearing house for current unused upsteam? Similar to spot reserve in EC2 I’d imagine

<p class="MsoNormal">This is a follow-up video relating to the current state of the transit space discussion recently. I thought I would get some thoughts out of my head as a lot of people ask me about transit and I thought others might find it useful.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">This video isn't meant to stir up people, but I am sure it may, especially those selling transit in a certain way. This video is more about educating people about the value of transit in certain kinds of ways. It is about 14 mins long,
but I'd like to know what you thought if you have time to watch it.<u></u><u></u></p>
