<div dir="ltr">Chris,<div><br></div><div>Absolutely. One of the greatest benefits of Virtual X-Connect Fabrics like Megaport is the On Demand nature of the infrastructure.</div><div><br></div><div>All it will take to shake up the market is someone willing to offer very creative options - including as you suggested, on demand, by the hour or day transit capacity... which I think is an excellent idea and would love to see people offering this sort of product.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The problem with that is the same as the Volume business back in the day... they would sell by the volume, but access ports were normally high... but when there was a massive transit demand, the over subscription would blow out the network.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So, depending on the suppliers pipe sizes, and how much they sell, and if they carefully control their exposure, then certainly it is a viable product.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">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>
