For example, we are more or less a content provider. However, we do not source from a single location. With 15 POPs spread throughout the US and Europe, and more on the way, with exceedingly non-contiguous space obtained from 6 different upstreams, it would benefit ourselves as well as our many providers to have our own PI space. Of course, convincing ARIN of this is proving most difficult :) --ted -- Ted Beatie [email protected] Sr. Network Engineer +1-781-376-1108 Mirror Image Internet 49 Dragon Court Woburn, MA 01801 http://www.mirror-image.com
