[AusNOG] Thoughts about IP Transit

[Skeeve Stevens]

Speaking of PEN.   I did a brief comparison of Megaport and PEN in my last
Commsday presentation - which is incidentially all about selling wholesale
services over VxC's.

Check out:
http://www.slideshare.net/skeeve/wholesale-services-over-vxc-fabrics -
slide 10.

Personally, while I love VxC's for ISP services, I am more interested in
businesses themselves getting on these fabrics, which is what PEN is, and
getting access to a ton of interesting services, especially on demand.
