The original model for the CIX requires all network providers to join
even if they are not directly connected.
This applies to Sprint and the 4 or 5 networks they provide transit
for (all of whom have joined) and it applies to AlterNet and the 4 or 5
networks that they provide transit for (and whom have joined) and it
applies to ALL members equally.
Simple equality and consistancy demands the same of ANS CO+RE.
Of course if ANS CO+RE can provide documentation that the regionals are
actually just business units of ANS, then they would not have to join
separately.
