[AusNOG] Thoughts about IP Transit

Wed Jul 2 23:36:02 EST 2014

I had the idea of Bandwidth as a Service (on demand), in general maybe 5
years ago when I asked the question "how do businesses restore from online
backups when they are on slow internet?", and more recently specifically
over megaport (I think I might have made a post about this before..?) a
couple years ago, not long before someone came along and tried to set up
global transit swapping/trading (google fails me, I think said person might
have posted to ausnog..), but it turned out that the idea has been done 15
years ago!  http://www.oecd.org/sti/broadband/1895041.pdf  interesting read
though I don't think band-x exists any more, or at least the service?

I think the rise of SDN will see BaaS or spot trading (would be amazing to
see IP transit futures on NYSE... LOL) come into being, there has to be
money made out of it (even if its just hole selling or symmetry selling as
per Skeeves video).

I notice pacnet have taken the first step with http://pen.pacnet.com/
which is very interesting indeed.
