Uh, Marty... the difference between peering and transit is that they have
different definitions. If you say transit is peering, just not by our
definitions, then you're into 1984 territory.
Bill:
I'm pretty sure you know that I know the difference between paid transit
and peering. If I were buying transit, I would've had a different
comment. I think we may have a difference though, I don't think
jumping on a big switch and saying "yes" to every peering request is
peering, and I think this is a better discussion at the peering bof
or in person.
Anyhow, I'll be happy to tell you as much as I can (NDA) in
Montreal. I don't see you listed for Dallas.
Is Howard going to find peering in, er, Egypt? It depends what his
value proposition is.
