[AusNOG] Transit over Megaport - who?

[Matt Perkins]

Im happy to sell any of our services over Megaport. This includes tails 
on almost everyone in the business. Of cause with the margin in there it 
will be allways cheaper to go direct. But for the odd tail here and 
there that is not worth a whole aggregation point it may be still viable.

Would have to check with most of the tail providers we sell to see if we 
can resell them to other wholesalers. (Telstra springs to mind that it 
may be prohibited by the CRA) But most seem ok on face value. .

  I know we could build a circuit to any Firstpath connected buildings 
over MP in very short order and First path are happy with us doing so. 
Retail would not be a problem with any of of the tail's at our disposal 
and there is more margin in that space. Even if Ausnog is perhaps not 
the audience.  Very happy with the idea of MP cant wait to sell services 
on it.

Matt.
