Re: AGIS/DIGEX

Paul, 
I have been thinking about a couple of issues regarding the 
CIX Inter-exchange, and your comments would be appreciated:

(1) CIX is an association of ISPs. The CIX Inter-exchange puts 
    CIX in direct competition with its members (ISPs) for 
    customers.  Is there a contradiction here?   

(2) The CIX Inter-exchange has been used by some to bypass 
    peering policies. I am wondering if the CIX Inter-exchange
    remains a viable option in the peering policy review.

(3) Today there are quite a few inter-exchanges in the Bay Area
    that are superior (in terms of tech. and richness in connectivity)
    than the CIX Interexchange.  Is it fair to say that the 
    CIX Inter-exchange has fulfilled its historical mission and 
    is no longer needed?
