Dear NANOGers,
I would like to understand trends in list-pricing and bandwidth service
offerings by various ISPs, as part of an academic study on economic
models of ISPs. I have three short questions in this survey.
Kindly reply to me directly, and your information will be kept
confidential, and will only be published in aggregate form (eg:
average list pricing of assured-service bandwidth by tier-2 ISPs etc).
Your answers will greatly help our research, and in return we will provide
you a copy of our results/papers on this topic.
=========================================================================
Questions:
1. Is your ISP a Tier-1, Tier-2 or Tier-3 ISP (or
network-service-provider)?
2. What are the bandwidth services your ISP sells ? (eg: leased lines,
frame-relay, IP CoS, Diff-serv assured service or others...)
3. What is the list pricing for these services for a median customer ?
(feel free to categorize further into small-, medium-, large-, reseller-
etc)
=======================================================================
Thanks a lot!
-Shiv
