[1st-mile-nm] The Peering Mess

[Richard Lowenberg]

 Many of you receive the online and/or printed copy of 
 BroadbandCommunities magazine.
 An excellent publication.   www.bbpmag.com/
 The current Aug./Sept. issue includes one short item of note to this 
 list.
 On page 14, Steve Ross briefly writes about "The Peering Mess", with 
 the example
 of the recent shut down of IXNM, the only neutral peering node in NM,
 as was reported by John Brown to this list a few weeks ago.

 This issue highlights an increasingly important need for new 
 understandings (peering),
 as part of fundamentally evolving business and service models for 
 broadband telecommunications,
 with cooperation being as much a part of the equation as competition, 
 for assured win-win outcomes.
 We've got a long way to go yet.
