I can describe what I did at TIX. Now or in Durban?
Challenge(s): someone to make use of it....
(2 v6 LIRs in tz, none using v6. 1 v6 LIR in ke - who would they peer
with? real need in za - now.)

agree, we should talk about it.

also agree.

I can/will talk (passionately) about the problems.
Don't know what works...
:-(
I move to dis-invent politics.
and to lower leased circuit costs.

> 5) Understanding Transit at IXP's - should it happen? Pros & Cons
My opinion: it can happen. no priority here.
we have a rule that ISPs should have uplink outside IXP -
that rule is likely not sustainable for ever.
