I can think of one good reason: Not everyone you might want to peer with on the West Coast is at the PAIX. Curt-
Well, due to the lack of traffic, here's a question that I've been pondering...are there any good reasons (besides MCI's peering requirements) to go into the Pac Bell NAP as well as MAE-West and the PAIX?
(This question probably won't have any impact on any decisions; I'm just curious as to people's thoughts on the matter, and it's nice to be able to post something here that isn't about net abuse.)
