Interesting idea, how the heck did I miss that.

It would depend on Cybera being open to the idea, which starts off
with a reevaluation of the following "not-for-profit acting as an ISP
of last resort" strategy:

    http://www.cybera.ca/strategic-projects/peering/
    http://www.cybera.ca/membership/membership-structure/

In Canada, the other collision preventing exchanges from showing up is
the CANARIE content peering model, which by providing free content
access to schools and such takes many (young bandwidth hungry)
eyeballs out of the equation for IX development and growth:

Time for change?
