How do you see the failed AMS-IX expansion fit into this?



My (very simplified) summary of what happened was that :

...

At the time of the origin of the discussion I was peering
co-ordinator at

KPNQwest, and would have pulled-out of AMS-IX if the plans (and
KQ..:) )

would have moved on.



well of course i'm not bill, but (naturally) i will comment anyway.
was

AMS-IX planning to expand beyond its original metro and bridge all the
XP

switches together? if so then i understand exactly why KQ and other
ISP's

would have pulled out of AMS-IX in protest (and in fear). however, if
the

expansion was intra-metro, then i must be confused, because KQ's major

source of bandwidth revenue should have been inter-metro not
intra-metro.




They planed to interconnect other (well, one) other exchanges in NL.
