[AusNOG] AS703/Verizon routing contact

[Matthew Moyle-Croft]

VzB has a concept of different scale peers -  global or regional ones are preferred over single countries.  Optus are single country.   So, when you build out into APAC you need to be careful who your peering and transit is with and what communities you tag where.
