Hi Fiona, Thank you for the response, it helps to clarify an issue
Tis indeed helpful, looks like TESPOK needs help convincing the government that allowing non-license holders as peers is a good idea. In fact, it is best current practice, along with carrier neutrality, open access, etc. so that some of us
stone throwers can refrain, but that can only happen when we are in the picture.
I believe from this response from KIXP is that the ministry of information and by extension the ICTBoard are not being truthful when they keep making it seem that the ISPs are refusing to lower their tariffs because they are greedy.
I don't see how one infers that from the KIXP reply. Not letting non-licensed players peer at the IX does not equate with either government untruthfulness or lower tariffs.
Can the usual culprits please put this issue to rest, we seriously need to keep local content local
Well KIXP is serious about doing just that. If you have a specific issue where traffic that you think should go over the IX is going overseas, then please send the traceroutes for diagnostic help. I find it a bit ironic that someone who uses a .co.uk webmail account bangs on about this issue. While I use webmail myself, it doesn't cause me any guilt pangs in this age of (relatively) abundant bandwidth. In the satellite age, I used a local email address, which, sadly is no longer available to me. -- Cheers, McTim "A name indicates what we seek. An address indicates where it is.
