AboveNet would probably peer with a bum on the street outside PAIX if he could speak BGP, but AFAIK GBLX's requirements were at least 3 locations and bi-costal at a minimium. If I remember correctly Exodus is also slightly picky about its "ghetto peers", probably falling somewhere the middle of the other two. The rest of the list seems to basically fall into the categories of other "tier 2" regionals (Hurricane Electric, Maxim, etc), content looking for a way to save money on their transit bill (Hotmail, EA, etc), Asian networks who have a circuit to the US but aren't willing to cross it and will take any peers they can get (SingTel, KDD, etc), and misc small networks with little overwhelming value. Seems almost all the larger service providers are requiring at least bi-costal these days. You also missed a couple of the email contacts, abov is [email protected] and lightning is not [email protected] :P -- Richard A Steenbergen <[email protected]> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras PGP Key ID: 0x138EA177 (67 29 D7 BC E8 18 3E DA B2 46 B3 D8 14 36 FE B6)
