Anybody use the data that is available for peering at exchange points?
Its roughly the same idea and there is periodic verification that the
data is current.




      Here's an idea, I'm not sure if it could work.

      Set up a small "verification company" (or maybe even
non-profit org).  For a small fee ($50/month?) you could have
your contact information entered, and the company would randomly
check it frequently (once every 2-3 weeks?).  Failure to have
current contact info would result in a penalty ($5000?) to stay
in the program.

      Then, networks could require as part of peering agreements
and such that both sides participate.  For their $50/month each
side knows the verification company has current contact info, and
they can get it from the company via web sites or monthly news
letters.

      It's a very rough idea, but is there a business model and
support for such a thing?
