Me too and I was confused about what the point of it was. I had always assumed the customers of those IXs he singled out were generally happy with the service they were getting and the money they are paying. Is Dave trying to say they are being duped? Is he trying to identify a need for regulation?
I was pointing out facts about IXPs that many did not know, including the actual organizational structure. I was also opining on how these IXPs could be better; mainly, how they choose to spend money.
Perhaps Dave was advocating the SIX model and suggesting the customers of the existing exchanges should be looking to organise an alternative in their localities.
Absolutely correct (which should answer Hank's question, as well).
Or perhaps this is a wakeup call for LoNAP and the smaller exchanges who "compete" with AMS-IX, DE-CIX and NetNod - stop trying to mimic their commercial models (big fees which pay for staff and marketing) and look instead at the lean SIX as the way of offering a service at a price competitive to transit.
Also absolutely correct. I don't want to see them falling into a trap of conflating marketing and outreach and/or offering an overly rich product set at the cost of price and operational simplicity.
Or was there a hidden message in Dave's presentation that I missed?
Seems like you got it.
