control=20
2. Europe: RIPE; http://www.ripe.net/ The Big Meeting is in Berlin in =
early May.=20
3. France: FRnOG; http://www.frnog.org/ Has several meetings each year. =
Has interesting discussions in French on its mailing list. Moderator =
makes Stalin look easy going.=20
4. UK: LINX; https://www.linx.net/ Has four meetings each year. Not =
difficult to get invited if you are not a member. =20
5. LAMBDANET hosts several German ISP meetings; =
http://www.lambdanet.net/index.php?p=3D92&l=3D1&sid=3Dee8bc11d266a13bffdc=

European base of operations for Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Yahoo. =
And Canada has over 30 million people. Where is the National Pride?
7. It is worthing mentioning that DEC-IX has started the practice of =
hosting carrier meetings a la Telx. These are not conferences with =
lectures, but networking events where each provider has a booth where =
they can push their products and services. Tends to be more carrier than =
ISP, but as you know the union of these two sets is not the null set. =
Quite a bit of overlap.=20
