Its simple, get out of the routing business. Get out of the Cloud
business, get out of anything but, the lobby business. Look at that deal
in Washington State ! The CIX , totally focused on being a trade org.
may very well have been able to do something about such actions. Alot of
people agree that there is a real need for a good org. to represent the
Internet providers. Waiting until June to talk about such matter in
sunny Hawaii is a lifetime in this business. RBOC's fighting daily to
get in to the LD business ,,, Sprint sure is heck is spending $$$ with
all the right groups to make sure they come out with their fair share.
So why should the internet be any different ?
Bob,
People don't trust the Cix. That could always change. Continue to block
routes, run a router, talk of being an RA , Why not a focus on the
Capital Hill area and forget the rest of the nonsense ?
As for the router of last resort, I would say sell it to the highest
bidder. Before you do, have all members sign it. After all alot of them
have had their hands on it / in it.
