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 at structured.net
(subscription requests to majordomo at structured.net), setup for discussing
this.
