Ok just a couple of points for clarification:
1. A partner is either a wholesale provider or someone who has joined our
partner program and offers services over Megaport
2. The $200/port is subject to terms but at a high level does not include
the VXC fee and delivered to our demarc at the "b" end (VXC includes campus,
metro and inter cap).
Best to drop a note to belinda.flanders at megaport.com if you (or anyone)
needs further details and take this off-list.
Cheers

Ok, so I guess to clarify... what is a Channel/Partner vs someone who is
connected?
Just to clarify the terminology :)
So Bevan... am I able to use MegaDirect in this way for our customer?
