Jon, Keep in mind that all of those actions, including turning up an interim facility, were voted on by the membership. It's not like a MAE, where the operator can take action without the consent of the members. As far as who is going to be there - I would assume that the vast majority of members will be in the facility pretty quickly. Of course, that doesn't translate into willingness to peer with anyone. I know of several members who have no intention of peering on the public fabric - only privately. All of the "big guys" going in, intend to sell transit in the facility as well. - Dan Golding On Thu, 21 Dec 2000 [email protected] wrote: > > On Thu, 21 Dec 2000, Scott Patterson wrote: > > > We have been involved in both potential NAPs from the beginning, but seems > > the one with most involvement is NOTA (Nap of the Americas).
