I agree with this. Once you are regulating this, it becomes
'exclusive' and thus less about the 'value' that Brad, Mark and myself
have mentioned and far more about looking to the Govt for direction.

Looking at the various IXes around Australia, it seems that if it
makes sense (cost, latency, <insert your particular definition of
'value' here>), network operators are by and large (yes, corporates
could be more involved, but still) making good choices about
interconnecting via either MPLA or bilateral links.

I wonder - what would happen to AAPT's peering if the current GoF
decision went away?
