The CIX is not an exclusive arrangement, you can always make seperate
agreements with all the current members. But since there is no requirement
to peer with you (that would -really- be restraint of trade), settlement*
would probably be required by the larger NSP's.
* involving sums very likely a lot higher than $10k.

Simon, please explain in more detail what you are saying. I don't understand.
Separate agreements to do what?
No requirement to peer with you?? Isn't peering defined as an exchange of
routing information so that my customers can "see" yours and yours can "see"
mine?
CIX members were required to do that with each other I thought?
Can you give like mathew did a specific example of what you mean when you say
settlement would like be required by the larger service providers?
