Karl,
I am afraid you are confused. The point that I was making is that CIX
members are intentionally reducing their reliance on the private-
enterprise CIX router and increasing their reliance on the taxpayer-
supported NSFNET Backbone Service which they take every opportunity to
complain about.
Incidentally, there are two commercial providers who are CIX members
that also provide networking services to NSF. You consistently
complain only about one. Surely, you know that Sprint's commercial IP
business also started off from a cooperative agreement with NSF.
As for what the CIX Association should or should not be doing, why
don't we discuss that on the CIX-Members mailing list. I find it a
bit odd that CIX members don't seem to communicate with each other
via CIX mailing lists for anything but real-time operational issues.
