I did support the idea of a commercial e-mail exchange, and I did say
that others were also working on it. I did not in any way support
your view that the CIX is the model or mechanism for it.
Sorry, I wasn't trying to infer that you supported the CIX in any context.
I think broad connectivity is necessary.
Could you define what that means? For instance leveraging off of Peter's
NREN presentation at IETF does a
FIX---NEX---CIX
cloud interconnection where
- some set of providers connect to the CIX
- US government agency networks connect to the FIX
- others (including regional networks) connect to the NEX
Satisfy your definition of "broad connectivity".
