[AusNOG] Transit over Megaport - who?

[Brent Paddon]

Absolutely.  To be honest I see it as just another crossconnect - we
already have a number of customers in both GS and Equinix directly
connected.  This will just make it a bit easier (removing cost of internal
xconnects) and make it easier for us to sell (and buy from) others in DC's
that we dont have a current presence in (eg S1, etc).  Bring it on I say :)

Bevan disrupting the status quo (his specialty I think) ... :)
