[AusNOG] Carrier Independent Peering Exchange

[Bevan Slattery]

> My "back of envelope" plan for this kind of peering exchange 
> is as follows:
> 
> 
> *	Peering exchanges would be located in each capital city 
> at carrier independent facilities
> *	The costs of connecting into the peering facility would 
> be borne by each client
> *	The cost of joining the peering facility would be a 
> membership fee depending on the port speed (100Mbps / 1Gbps / 
> 10Gbps etc)
> *	The peering exchange might also take a very small 
> percentage of the fees charged by carriers offering their 
> voice, IP transit or Ethernet services via the exchange (e.g. 
> like an eBay listing fee)
> *	The peering exchange would be run by a carrier 
> independent private company

You might want to talk to Terry to see if the ausbone domain is still
available.  I hear they may still have some cabling under the floor in
530 Collins Street, 123 Eagle and 45 Ross St.
