[AusNOG] Netflix Peering in AU

[Ben Grubb]

"I suggest that in future when you write a story that utilises
publicly available
data"

As Simon Lyall has pointed out, these were actually public graphs. There
was no password protection on them.

Type "IX Australia graphs" into Google and you'll find them straight away.

By the way, the graphs I used are actually still public - I didn't actually
use the Netflix port ones as images, though I did link to them.

There was no "redo" of the data - it was simply WYSIWYG with a grey
background to compensate for the width of the article, as explained
earlier. The source of the data was also clearly stated in the article.

Again, I don't understand what the complaint is. These were not super
secret graphs...
