Yes - Sorry my initial approach to NANOG was not very specific!
However my approach to the SPs was very specific (and ADN understood
exactly what I wanted when I first approached them and are working on
a quote)... I specifically asked how we would go about getting a
second point-to-point link and peer with them over that link (and for
existing providers such as ICE and RACSA) how we could upgrade our
current contract to allow us to announce our own PI space... I am not
sure how I could be any more specific than that...
