Well, given that the CIXes (CIXen?) are physical entities and not just
plain connections it would sure be nice to have a policy document as to who
can connect to that physical entity, how and at what cost. We went through
similar discussions a year or two or so ago with the FIXes (I guess the federal
mommy of the CIXes), and it is a hairy issue if the agenda is not clear and
people find out about it and desparately wanting to connect to it directly
(where else can you find a connectivity point as robust as a mult-agency
interconnection point (FIX) or multi-commercial network interconnection point
(CIX))?
