This is very food example for this subject. What's is the branch of this ING network appear in Moscow (may be they have appeared already - it's not important there). The problem is just the same - if we'll establish peering with this (IGN Russia, having now about 40 customers) this mean for us to provide 2Mbit back-bone over Moscow, SPB and some other places for their customers. I prefere if this IGN Russia bue IP from us (and pay some money - less than for International IP but more than 0.0$). Just as USA's problems but in another scale (2Mbit instead of 150Mbit, 64K instead of 2Mbit, 40 customers instead of 1,000... And this rabbit have a chance to became the wolf, throught (I hope) this oily rabbit can't compete to fast hares in the wild forests). > On Sun, 27 Oct 1996, Hank Nussbacher wrote: > > > http://www.ibm.com/globalnetwork/inetbbon.htm > > > > Probably the best kept secret in the Internet world. > > I just looked at IBMs page and see it as a step foward in peering.

If we bue IP connection in USA, let's they bue IP connection in Russia too -:). /I am writing for me, not exactly for my company/. And I think our policy is soft in comparation to some other ISP there (in Russia) who don't confess Sprint Russia as ISP even (and they are right!). > > I think that it is great that Netrail is opening up a new nap in Atlanta.
