1) Telehouse will not allow another peering point at 25 Broadway. Its like saying "I will put my own Giga at MAE-EAST! 2) $400 a month for a port where a decent amount of traffic is traded and where the switch is well maintained is not rediculous...Telehouse is not a 501(c)3...they are in this to make money... 3) Unless you can get some big names to peer openly, no one would be willing to pay... So how will you fund a switch and other costs? I think Telehouse is making a buck, but isn't that what we are all here for? Reid Fishler Lightning.Net At 12:58 PM 4/21/99 -0400, Jim Mercer wrote:
i recently found a cost effective method of moving traffic from Toronto to New York.
i am interested in finding peering points in New York City, preferably at Telehouse (Bowling Green Post Office) or 60 Hudson Street.
i was looking at connecting to NYIIX, however, i find that Telehouse is sharging $400/month just to jack into their switch.
alternately, i have a client who would be willing to house a switch in their Telehouse racks for a new peering point. there might also be the potential to set up a switch at 60 hudson.
anyone have any directions for me for peering in New York, and/or interest in setting up a new peering point?
my interests in peering are mostly related to news flow and ftp/http access to large archives of stuff.
