I went one step further and talked to some of the local ISPs about pooling some $ and having a NAP-owned nnrp server. Why waste bandwidth and hardware duplicating a beast such as usenet servers if its not necessary. The ones I talked to agreed it seemed a good idea, but nothing ever came of it. > Just out of curiousity, since I'm not in the US, how much would a T1 cost > point to point inside a city, without default IP transit? With IP transit? In BellSouth land, I know a local point to point T1 circuit can be had for about $300/month ($1700 install). With CLEC's getting into the business of selling circuits (especially if they have their own fiber) prices can be whatever they want to charge...usually less than the ILEC :) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jon Lewis <[email protected]> | Spammers will be winnuked or Network Administrator | drawn and quartered...whichever Florida Digital Turnpike | is more convenient. ______http://inorganic5.fdt.net/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key____
