3) We will build low cost NAPs for IPSPA.ORG members;

You laugh ... however, RTD is a few short weeks away from having NAPs up and running in Tucson and Phoenix.

It's primarily intended for local providers, so that we can at least control quality standards in the region ourselves. If larger peers want to show up, nobodies going to kick them out of bed though...we've got a bed big enough for everybody. hehe.

A NW peering point is currently about 3-4 weeks away. Initially it will be done via fully meshed frame relay, until traffic dictates otherwise. This peering point will be _solely_ for keeping local traffic local and not for providing transit. If anyone is interested, there is a mailing list, nw-internet@structured.net (subscription requests to majordomo@structured.net), setup for discussing this. Eric -- Eric Kozowski Structured Network Systems, Inc. kozowski@structured.net Better, Cheaper, Faster -- pick any two.
