In this case, I do. It's a consumer product.
One way to solve this problem, and recognize that many IP network operators sell service to consumers as well as peering, would be to offer the inet-access mailing list to come under the NANOG umbrella, and then encourage discussions to move to the appropriate list. There is no reason why the NANOG community needs to limit itself to a single-focus mailing list and a single-track conference.
We can already ask people to take their discussions to the appropriate place. No need for that other place to fall under the same umbrella. NANOG has a charter, and this whole thread falls squarely outside it.
Ditto. The inet-access list is one of the many "other lists" referenced in the NANOG FAQ as a place to discuss topics that may be of interest to *some* NANOG participants but which are off-topic to NANOG itself. Anyone who is interested in discussion about "consumer product" items (and other topics of interest to ISPs and network providers small and large) is welcome to subscribe to inet-access by sending email: From: the address you are subscribing To: list-request@inet-access.net <mailto:list-request@inet-access.net> Body: subscribe Reply to the confirmation email. jc - list admin for inet-access
